Poor. Repaired. A superb repair job which is difficult to pick, however, the entire green section is reapplied, with a highly glossy enamel type paint, the lower edge of this can be felt as the paint is heavily applied. You can still see parts of the original neck colour under this, and so we are not sure where the actual repair is? It may be anywhere from the lower neck to simpy a small lip chip. More than likely, it is mid neck. The remainder of the body is discoloured with some rusty stains and a dull appearance. Small chip to base edge under potters stamp. Couple of other minor marks under the base. Quite a nice example for the shelf, soaking the lower body to clean it up will leave it looking much better. Grade: 2.2 Estimate: $50 - 100
