Good. Worst thing is some chipping that is just through the glaze on the front shoulder that measures 18 x 5 mm. There is also some other wear around the rest of the shoulder. The body of the pot has some stained crazing and there is a very tight 13 mm hairline off the back shoulder. Also a couple of other small impacts there as well. The lid is in Excellent condition but needs a clean as there are some surface rust spots. Also some very fine crazing to the lid. Nice scarce Sydney pot base. Grade: 6.6 Estimate: $100 - 150
