Very Good. (7.4). Face is great with some crazing. A little scratch or two. Pretty much the full gold border. Lovely colour and print. 15 x 4 mm chip to the under edge of the rim at about 5 o'clock as you look at the face. Can see the crazing more heavily underneat and some stain. Large chip to the flange of about 20 x 12 mm and right through the flange at the bottom. This is chip is at about 10 o'clock when you are looking at the face. Great looking lid, pretty simple repair if you wanted to fix the chips but really doesn't need it for display purposes. Estimate: $2000-4000
