Good. The all important face is quite nice. Some of the gold leaf has worn and there are some spots of grime, some discoloured crazing and a few scratches. The underside, however, is damaged. The flange is chipped over 48 mm by up to 10 mm on one side along the top of the lid. There is a small chip on the opposite side and a couple of other little nicks. Some rust stain and some more discoloured crazing. This comes with a base that has a small inner rim chip, some crazing and a few other marks. This is from Melbourne. Grade: 6 Estimate: $50 - 75
