Excellent. Large trade mark on this one looks great. This is the flat lip version. Wire handle is rusty, but solid. Some minor surface wear to the glaze around the lip. Plenty of grime which will clean off with some gumption. Some very fine shoulder wear to the glaze surface. A few little flakes to the base edge. Some rusty discolouration around the base. A few short, dark scratches to the lower rear. Small glaze nick near foot of lion. Some scratches and minor marks. Plenty of glaze pops from making to the body. A great looking piece in really good condition overall, this is the rarest of the selection in this auction. One of seven variations on offer this auction! Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $300 - 400
