Near Mint. The nature of these pots dictates that one with great print like this one must be at least Near Mint. The gold bands around top and bottom are fully intact. The writing is clear and precise, the only blemish appears to be a light scratch at the lower right of the writing over some letters. A few other letters are lightly worn, but mostly they are fine. The pot itself is also in almost perfect condition with hardly a mark to be seen. This is just a great piece, and a rare Sydney item in this great condition. Grade: 9.4 Estimate: $75 - 100
