Good. Repaired. Couple of little glaze flakes to front lip. Repair to left side and rear lip, not a major repair by any means. A good job that blends in well. Chip to front shoulder above and just touching the PI of Champion. Little thin chip to rear base edge, a few other little flakes to base of which most are likely pottery pulls. Dull areas to the glaze from fine glaze wear. Some scuffs and scratches. Fine flake to left base edge on the side. Little pottery blowout near this. Impact flake to right shoulder edge. Some wear here and there and the odd surface mark. A wonderful piece of Tasmanian history, these are quite early. Grade: 6 Estimate: $250 - 300
