Good. Three flake chips along the upper lip, in total over about half the lip. Knock to lip edge, hairline along the edge from here. Outer lip flake. 18 x 8 mm chip to front left base edge has some glaze spots next to it, this would appear to be a making mark. 80 mm discoloured hairline from left base edge up about 10 mm and along the lower body down to the rear base. Knock type split to front right base edge has a spider web hairline up from it. Some crazing, some of which is discoloured. Some rust spots. Couple of pottery pulls under base, this is very crudely made with a large amount of flat glaze under the base. Some scratches and minor marks. Lovely drippy double dipped neck glaze. Quite a scarce open stamp variation. Grade: 6.3 Estimate: $100 - 150
