small area of crazed glaze; is that a flaw?

Hi all;

I had made a porcelain plate and I just had it fired. The glaze was a bit
thick and in one area [about 1.5 inches diameter] where the glaze pooled a
tiny bit is crazed - just a couple of lines. This is a super pale blue
transparent glaze. When I first took out of the kiln, I could see it. I
wonder if this is considered a second?

This is a plate to go with a soy sauce bottle. The bottle is fine with the
glaze. I'm tempted to fire the plate again and see if the craze line
disappeared. I'm under a deadline and I don't have time to make another one.

I don't know, I'm thinking...

Thanks
