Very Good. As is typical of these there are some repaired chips. Can see a bit of work has been done to the left corners and edge of the lid. Also one corner of the base seems to have a bit of filling or overpainting done but doesn't look too extensive. Crazing to the lid with some minor other marks. Crazing and some dark stain to the base. A really nice item and great to have the original label inside the lid. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $150 - 200
