Excellent. There are two minute glaze flakes to the lip, both are 2 x 1 mm and just through the glaze, with the decoration these are very difficult to spot. There are three small surface tan coloured scuffs / scratches just at the top of the writing, again difficult to see because of the decoration. A handful of other very fine surface scratches can be seen when looking over the surface with the light at the right angle. The base has some slight stain - and in the inner base some stained crazing can be seen. Lovely looking piece and very difficult to get in this lovely condition. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $250 - 300
