Very Good. There is some light stain and crazing through about half the face of the lid. Around the rim are some scratches and marks, the main one is between 7 and 8 o'clock and just worn through the glaze. More of the crazing and discolouration can be seen underneath the lid. Very shallow 5 x 5 mm chip on the bottom of the flange. There are a handful of other small flakes and marks off the bottom edge of the flange, some of which have discoloured a dark colour. A really nice early pot lid. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $250 - 350
