Good. (6.9). Polished, or just lightly cleaned anyway. The right top has had a big chip up to about 20 x 10 mm. This has been filled reasonably well but the resin used is yellowing a bit. Rest of the lip is good with just a little chip or two. Some haze and cloudiness. Lid is good, just dusty and grimy with some minor flakes and chips. Top wire has been replaced. Embossing is great. First example we have sold of this very rare fruit jar. Estimate: $500-1000
