Very Good. The glaze is very speckled from manufacture. Some small flake like chips and glaze flaking around the tap holes and also the base edge. Shoulder has some flakes and the like as well. Just light wear and marks otherwise. Nice example of a hard to get Sharpe Bros variation. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $$100.00 - $150.00
