Excellent. These are often quite faded. This one does have a little glaze flake just above the H of Tooth and some fine wear to the pink above that. A couple more little spots of wear to outer part of face where the pink is a tad lighter. Some fine crazing and a few scratches to the face. Towards 6 o'clock there is a little flake chip to the outer rim. Little nick to glaze half way down the outer flange looks to be a making glaze pop. One shallow, small flake to outer flange at the bottom and another to the inner flange also at the bottom. Some minor inner discolouration. This comes with the matching coloured base which has some inner rim chips of a relatively small nature. The base is quite heavily discoloured. A superb piece, one of the better ones that you will see. Grade: 8 Estimate: $300 - 400
