Excellent. Superb lid in all ways. Even retains the full gold border which is a rarity indeed. There are a few spots around the outer rim where the glaze is worn slightly. Some fine crazing throughout which has a slightly stained appearance, only noticeable in the white sections, the upper coloured area is great with no crazing even evident. Comes with a base which is nice and white, there is a hairline to the base. Grading for lid only. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
