Very Good. Small lip repair to front crown, looks like the flake has been about 12 x 5 mm approximately on the outer crown, the upper lip is mostly fine so this has not been deep. Small spot of wear to outer lip edge. A few little nicks to outer lip. A couple of glaze nicks to the neck, there is one very short scratch through the glaze on the neck too. Other scratches around the neck including a dark one to right upper neck over about 10 mm. Little butterfly glaze flake to mid right is just through the glaze. Couple of other little nicks to the glaze. Area around base edge next to potters mark has a glaze miss from making. Rear upper neck glaze has a dark drip and a couple of lighter patches from making. A bit of discoloured spotty wear around the body. Some scuffs and scratches. An all time classic, not as good as the last example we sold, but still a very good example. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $5000 - 7500
