Good. From the front around to the right rear lip are chips and flakes, largest to outer right lip is 10 x 10 mm, but really it is all part of one larger chipped area. Wear through the glaze around the rest of the lip. Lower front lip has a series of flakes and small chips as well. Some discoloured spiderweb type hairlines around the shoulder, likely from making but you can see them. Discoloured scratch to front shoulder. Tiny impact flake to left base edge has a curved hairline from it over about 15 mm along base edge and 13 mm up the side. A few spots of surface rust. Some spots of glaze wear, a few scratches and minor marks. Some light discolouration in places. Nice colours with the bright green top, white body and black print. This is from the late Roy Millar collection. Grade: 6.4 Estimate: $150 - 250
