Excellent. Some fine scratches to the glaze on the face, these can only be noticed with light reflecting off the surface. Some crazing can be seen. There are a few tiny glaze flakes around the bottom of the flange, one slightly larger flake which is only 2 x 1 mm and seems to be from manufacture anyway. A great example of a nice Melbourne pot lid. This does not come with a base. Grade: 8.9 Estimate: $200 - 300
