Good. Has had restoration to the flange, the chip restored measures internally about 35-40 mm x 10 mm, externally it appears to be over about 45 mm x 10 mm. This has been poorly painted, some of the paint goes onto the face, but the repair is not on the face of the lid. There is a 30-40 mm hairline extending straight into the centre of the lid from this chip. A small glaze flake to the rim near the bottom of the lid. A small flake under the bottom of the flange and a few other fleabites around the flange as well. This displays very well and is worth considering for the superb colour. Does come with a nice matching base, which has a couple of horseshoe cracks to the upper rim, a few small flakes and some rust spots and crazing. Grade: 6 Estimate: $20 - 30
