Good. Appears to have been affected by acid with some glaze pops around the surface and underneath. There is a large section like a large horseshoe on the underside where the glaze has flaked off, at one end this would go down about 1 mm. There are a couple of flakes on the inner flange near this as well. The outer flange has only one small flake. Around the rim are several spots where the glaze has flaked, some of these go across to near the edge of the print. One is slightly deeper on the right hand side at 3 o'clock near the edge. The face presents nicely but has a few of these flakes mainly in a small section in the lower left quadrant amongst the flowers and parts of the writing. Grade: 6 Estimate: $300 - 350
