Fair. Some nibbles to upper lip edge. Inclusion in rear lip. Below front lip there are a series of surface bubbles which are quite odd, there are a few more to right side of chamber. These may have been caused by exposure to heat? The point has nibbled flakes and a sliver flake coming from it too. Surface has a crazed effect throughout, like a series of criss cross lines tightly spreading over the surface. Some inner haze. Internally there are several crazed fractures throughout. These vary in depth from being on the very surface only, to going into the glass about 1 mm, they also vary in length. Most of these are in the upper region. One or two are external as well. Still looks decent, could do with some work to tidy the surface up. Grade: 5 Estimate: $50 - 75
