Very Good. This has a Shepherd stopper on place. Horseshoe crack to upper front lip, not a large one and mostly on inner lip. Making split to inner thread down from this. Handle is rusty, but solid. Fair bit of grime that will clean off. Small shallow flake to front left base edge. From the front base to right of stamp upwards over 70-80 mm is either a thin scratch or a very fine hairline. I am leaning towards scratch but cannot be sure. Some discolouration to be found. Some glaze scratches and minor marks. One of seven variations on offer this auction! Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $200 - 250
