Very Good. Different colours to the other one on offer in this auction, this one has a light pink background and the wording has a different colour background. Hairline in from the edge at about 7 to 8 o'clock, this comes in to Alexandra's head, but is very fine on top, can be seen easier underneath where it is discoloured. Scratches to the face, a bit of wear to the gold band to the right side of the lid. Two shallow chips to the outer, lower flange, one to the underside of the flange and a little inner flange flake as well, none of these are major. A few nicks around the outer rim. A little discolouration in places. Grade: 7 Estimate: $400 - 500
