Excellent. Near perfect on the face, there is a tiny nick to the outer rim edge at about 4 o'clock and a scrape at 6 o'clock. The side of the lid has a few crude manufacturing marks such as some dripppy glaze and a small split, 4 x less than 1 mm. There is a small chip to the bottom of the flange, 5 x 4 mm. A superb example of a rare Melbourne pot lid. This does not come with a base. Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $600 - 700
