Excellent. This looks black, it is in fact a very dark magenta / purple. Surface effect to inner lip from making. Some grime to upper shoulder. Scattered surface scratches. One scratch down the rear is a little deeper than standard. Usage wear under the base. The painted label is in good condition, it is a little cracked through age and has a scrape or two through it, but the main body of it is fine. The lid, or should I say cap as it just sits loosely over the top, is in good condition. Much of the paint has worn off and there is some corrosion. A great looking item! Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $200 - 250
