Excellent. These come in a range of sizes, this is somewhere in the middle of the range. Great pieces of pottery, they are often damaged to the corners or have cracks. This example is quite good. It does have some surface scratches and small patches of wear. One base corner has a little flake that was glazed over during the making process. Another corner has a tiny nick and a little scrape mark up from it which is very thin and quite short. Very attractive with several different styles of writing, this will look good in any collection. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $75 - 100
