Good. Small repair. There must have been a small chip to the face. The top of the N in Longmore and a short section of the black line above this has been filled and painted. Rest of the face is very nice with just some fine scratches and minor marks. The rim has a bit of glaze wear mainly from 8 o'clock around in patches over the top to 1 o'clock. Flange has some crazing and stain and two small chips off the very bottom. Nice looking lid and quite scarce. This does not come with a base. Grade: 6.55 Estimate: $500 - 650
