Very Good. Small flake through glaze to rear lip, there are a couple of short glaze hairlines coming from this. Some minor wear to the shoulder edge. Some unusual grooves across the base edge, these seem to be from making. Couple of relatively small flakes under the base. A bit of discolouration and some minor dullness to the glaze. Nice example, these are one of the more attractive varieties from Sharpe's, and a little harder to get. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $100 - 150
