Excellent. What a spectacular oddity! The tan on this is definitely how it was glazed. You can see the line around the base edge where it cuts out and then a group of glaze splotches on the base have the same colour and are clearly on the surface next to the unglazed portion of base. There are some light scratches around and a bit of wear at the top. This is a real rarity in this colour. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $400 - 500
