Very Good. Chip to one side rim is glazed over from making. There is a fine crack down from this about 12 mm on outer surface, about 20 mm on the inner surface. Impact to upper rim on opposite side has a small horseshoe hairline running along the rim. There is a 10 mm line a bit further down on the inside from this as well. Dark scratch on one side. Scratch under base. Some discolouration and general fine glaze wear. Extremely rare variety with the straight sides and the string rim where the cap would have been tied down. This looks a little larger too? Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $$150.00 - $200.00
