Good. Although there is an 8 x 5 mm impact at the upper front from which emanate a spiderweb of cracks and hairlines. There is an open crack that extends 170 mm diagonally down across the top of the print. A hairline that can be felt through the top half of about 180 mm down the right front. Another open crack that goes around the shoulder all the way to the mid back. And finally another hairline that goes around the shoulder along the front and branches into some finer lines. A bit of crazing around as well. There is another separate hairline down the middle of the back. Glaze flaking and wear around the tap and near the base. A couple of shallow chips under the base edge. The interesting wooden top appears to be original. A nice piece, it is solid despite the cracks. Grade: 6.2 Estimate: $150 - 200
