Repaired. (0). Fair condition, but in a most interessting way. This has been repaired when originally being used by being stapled in three places at the bottom of the long neck. 8 x 8 mm chip on one side of the inner spout. 15 x 9 mm outer rim flake to left of spout. Some thin lines of flaking to the design externally, these are along some of the multiple cracks. Crack right around the bottom of the neck where the staples are, separated in places, pretty sure the top had separated prior to the stapling! A classic example of the early ingenuity of eitehr the potter, or the end user. You see these staple repairs from time time, generally from the early 20th century. Estimate: $10-20
