Excellent. The entire gold leaf is intact, although crazed. The rest of the lid is also crazed. Tiny impact mark on outer rim at 11 o'clock. Under the flange where the lid meets the base there is a shallow flake, 4 x 2 mm, and on the inside is another flake, 5 x 4 mm which has some rusty discolouration. The crazing is quite evident underneath. A few other tiny nicks to be found. This comes with a base, the base is fine apart from some crazing, one small hairline and some minor discoloured patches. Grading for lid only. Grade: 8.35 Estimate: $20 - 30
