Excellent. (8.2). A bit of stain. Some kiln kisses and making marks around. Three or four "chips" and marks under the base edge look like clay pulls that would have occurred during making. A scrape or two. Some minor wear. Nice prints. Good looking jar. The stopper just sits in place and doesn't fit properly. Estimate: $150-300
