Excellent (8.1). Shallow flake chip to inner front rim. Small flake around to left of this on inner rim. Small flake to outer rear rim. A little wear in places around the rim edge. 90 mm fine hairline to inner right, only a small part can be seen on the outside. Just a small flake or two to base edge. Some splits to the handles and slab seals from making, these are relatively minor. A few spots of wear to be found, these are shallow. A little glaze wear to outer right spigot. Some scratches and minor marks. This comes with a nicely matching lid which has had an exceedingly good restoration to the outer part over an unknown area as it is so good. Grading is for filter shell only. An amazing piece, we have never heard of this company before, but even better is it is in the more desirable banded salt glaze variety, and is a large 6 gallon! This is too big for post, pick up or a courier will be required. EST: $600 - 800
Reserve: $400
