Excellent. Just about the best stamp you will ever see on one of these. Around the base is a line of discoloured crazing, could almost be described as a hairline but is really too fine. There is a short hairline on the inner right top and a patch of rust on top of the back lip. A couple of tiny glaze flakes. Beautiful glaze and strong print make this example a standout. Grade: 8.6 Estimate: $100 - 150
