Mint. Well, apart from making marks anyway. Above the Lord's left eye is a small kiln kiss on his forehead. Couple of odd little pottery blow outs to the rear. Little flake to his left fore arm looks to be a pottery pop again. The sharp rear base edge has a split, there is glaze inside this split so it is from making. This is not big either. The edges have some nibbles to them within this split. What a fabulous piece of pottery Grade: 9.5 Estimate: $300 - 350
