Very Good. Small glaze flake to upper lip. Rear lip has a 15 mm hairline running along it. Three discoloured hairlines starting under the lip spiral down the neck to the mid shoulder. There are also a couple here that aren't discoloured. The left side near the base and also the front base also has some discoloured hairlines. Crazing up left hand side, these hairlines blend in with the crazing, it seems they may be from manufacture. Note none of these hairlines are "open" i.e. you can't feel them when running a fingernail over their surface. Shallow flake to left base heel, 4 x 4 mm. Some rusty discolouration under the lip. Grade: 7 Estimate: $30 - 40
