Excellent. (8.2). Ground lip only has a few very fine flakes and the like. Band of wear to the lower top, just above the filling rings. Scratches and scuffs all around. Also a bit of dust and grime. Really nice busy embossing. Immerser lid is nice too, typically crude with making marks and a big pontil like scar at the bottom. Very scarce jar in nice condition. Estimate: $400-800
