Very Good. Looks mint, but has had a small repair to the outer rim, this repair has not encroached on the face at all, and does not go down on the flange, the entire circumference where it would sit on the base is original. There was likely some flaked chipping to the outer rim between about 8 o'clock and near 12 o'clock. The repair is professionally done and very difficult to spot except for a small spot at around 9 o'clock where the applied glaze has flaked. The face of this lid is stunning, barely even a scratch, and the gold border is in great condition as well. At about 5 o'clock on the very outer rim is a tiny impact mark with a couple of very short lines from it. The rest of the flange is fine, there are a few small glaze flakes where the lid would go onto the base and a few small impact marks. A stunning lid all round, with the professional repair on the outer rim only over a small section, this lid could possibly even grade higher. This does not come with a base. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $1000 - 1250
