Good (6.3). 30 x 10 mm chunk has been restored to the left base edge, the bottom 10 mm has been painted all around to blend this in but since the edge of the restoration has a very slight split showing where it is. This actually helps, as it proves the entire base is not restored! Small flake to inner front left lip rim. Little scratch to left lower shoulder rim. 12 mm deep scratch directly above the G of Gloucester. Minor scratch above the trade mark. Tiny nick to upper front left lip has a fine hairline from it along the upper lip as well. Sticker residue under the base will clean off. The lid has a 16 x 7 mm chip to the inner flange with a fine hairline from it. Shallow flake to underside of flange as well. A FABULOUS item, very early with different fonts used and the amazingly detailed trade mark, this is one amazing piece all round. The base repair is very good, this would slot into any collection very easily! EST: $400 - 500
