Very Good. The main thing with this one is that it has hardly been washed! There is still some stain and dirt stuck on the surface. 11 x 5 mm chip on the rim at around 11.30 as you look at the face, a small part of this chip can be seen from the front. There has been a gold border around the edge of the print but that has almost completely gone. 55 mm hairline diagonally through the middle of the face (can't be seen on the underside). There is some discoloured crazing both front and back. Some stain in places. Some scratches to the glaze. Nice lid and a good opportunity to get this cleaned up. Grade: 7.25 Estimate: $300 - 400
