Good. 6 x 5 mm filled flake to front lip. Looks like there has been shallow upper lip flakes scattered around as well which have been filled and lightly coloured over. Very shallow 6 x 8 mm flake to front right base edge. Couple of other flake type marks to base edge, one looks to be a small potters blowout. Rear lower body has a 35 x 40 mm painted section up from base edge, this would be a filled chip which has been painted over, looking at it from the base, the chip can't have been overly deep. Some glaze flakes to the body, plenty of lumps from making of which there is wear to the high points of some of them. Very rare, this looks good on display. You are not likely to see another for a sale in a hurry, this isthe first we have handled, and we have sold a few large Bendigo collections now. Grade: 6 Estimate: $250 - 350
