Good. Crazing throughout, a couple of lines around the shoulder are discoloured. Some grime and fine discolouration. Some fine scratches and minor marks. A bit of surface rust. Some making dints and crude marks. I think that is all? OH, one minor detail - spigot has been broken off! A couple of discoloured hairlines from this and a small flake part to body at top of the broken part. It would be a relatively easy repair. This is only the second one known! The other example has the spigot, but no handle, so neither are undamaged. A great rarity, you won't get another chance to buy one of these in the near future. Grade: 6.4 Estimate: $600 - 800
