Excellent. Unusual in black and white as these are normally pink and black. We have a pink one on offer in this auction, the pink is definitely under glaze, and so this is not a pink one that has had the colour worn off, it is as made. A couple of fine scratches. One small stain underneath. Comes with a matching base which has a few small knocks. Grading for lid only. Grade: 8 Estimate: $400 - 500
