The right side base has a small flake, 4 x 3 mm which is only just deeper than glaze depth. There is a kiln kiss to the right side shoudler area. Some light scuffs and scratches to the glaze. Print is slightly faded on this example, but remains extremely clear. The lip on this one is perfect, this is overall a great example of a very attractive bottle. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $50 - 75
