Repaired. As you can see the whole blue top to the shoulder has been overpainted. Some original blue glaze can be seen inside the lower neck. Looking inside it appears original pieces have been glued back together also with a bit of fill. Joins, glue and fill can be seen on the inner neck about 40-65 mm down from the lip - pretty much where the neck straightens out from the shoulder. Fine diagonal glaze hairline from the base and across the print of about 70 mm. Good looking example of a pretty rare variety. Grade: 0 Estimate: $70 - 100
