It does NOT got through to the inside. It is barely noticable and will not affect hanging the basket. I do not have the original chains, but suggest using black. Otherwise, this piece is in remarkable condition for it's, potentially 97 years of age! T are no chips, cracks crazing or repairs. The interior of the piece has a glossy glaze (to waterproof it) and the holes used for hanging are in factory issued condition. The colors are the customary ones used on all of the Suevo pieces. Generally speaking, red clay base with black geometric Indian motifs and beige accent bands or background and black lines for definition...
