Good. The pouring lip has chipping along a length of about 40 mm, this is all quite shallow. A little bit of wear elsewhere on the jug. Gold leaf is a bit worn and missing in small places. The red writing appears to be overglaze, this is all in great condition, the black is definitely underglazed. The black handle decoration is applied over glaze and has some minor wear to it. Definitely worth getting repaired although quite a good display piece as it is. Great looking jug and very rare. Grade: 6.55 Estimate: $3000 - 5000
