Excellent. Has a fine clear coating applied around the lip rim, we cannot discern any repair at all, but there must be a small repair on the ring around the lower lip somewhere, the lip itself is all original without a doubt, and so at worst I would suggest there was a small flake to the bulged ring which has been touched up and recoated - an amazing job! The rest of the piece is as close to perfect as you'll find. There is some dust around the handle and top! A fraction of wear under the base and a few light marks if you really look closely. Great print, a wonderful item. Grade: 8.4 Estimate: $250 - 300
