Excellent. The underside of the lid rim has two round shallow chips joined together (14 x 14 mm and 12 x 12 mm). Some dust and grime. Middle section, other than making marks not much to tell. The base is in outstanding condition. The tap doesn't want to turn but we're not trying to force it too hard either! All in all a remarkable piece of pottery. A great centrepiece to any collection! Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $300 - 400
