Excellent. Where the print is at the front there is some yellowish colour, we initially suspected a repair but further investigation has shown this is all original. Print is lovely and strong. Glaze is drippy in places. There are a couple of very fine hairlines at the back and some crazing throughout. One of the best examples you could hope to find of this quite scarce Pot Base. Comes with an original Toogood patent lid (grading for base only). Grade: 8.4 Estimate: $200 - 250
