Very Good. Comes with the original lid, complete with the tube,which has a chip to the end. Lid is in great nick, a fantastic piece with the bird pictured on it. Some grime that will clean off of it. The body originally looked near mint to me, but closer inspection reveals a bit of paintwork to the lip. It looks like the left side lip on the upper of the three ridges only has had some flakes repaired with some overpainting to blend this repair in. A couple of small, fine hairlines in this region. Shiny glaze with a small scratch or two and some grime in places. Dint to the right from making. A rare and attractive inhaler - the detailed print to the sides has a couple of great looking birds on it. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $200 - 250
