Excellent. Around the lip are a number of fine hairlines which to me seem to be dark crazing. It is a bit dull on the neck and around this crazing in places. Little glaze nick to outer lip. Couple of potting marks including a small split above the potters mark. These are a bit harder to get in this Hoffman Pottery style. Grade: 8 Estimate: $50 - 75
