Good. Not actually sure, could be better? The base has been perfectly ground around the heel and in the mid base where it protrudes down to give it a perfect seat on a flat surface. Why was this done? There is no evidence of any damage around these areas, maybe it was done to rectify a making fault when made, I can't see any other reason for it? Little chip to inner right lip edge. Little associated fracture. Little impact flake to front left shoulder. A few nicks to base edge. Some scratches and little scuff marks. A bit of crate wear to the embossing. We have never sold one of these before. Grade: 6.6 Estimate: $40 - 60
