Very Good. No damage to be found. There is some crazing. The black parts of the jug have discoloured in places giving it a milky appearance. This black is hand applied which is standard, it is reasonably crudely applied in this case with some drips to be seen in the paintwork. Some scratches through this near the bottom and one or two nicks where the white is showing through. There may have been a patch of white at the right side lip that has been touched up with black - can't tell if this is from making or later, very minor anyway. These pieces are superb, it is good to get one with the stopper like this. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $250 - 350
