Very Good. Inner lip has had wear through the glaze which is still there but coloured as such that it is difficult to see. Under the front base heel to the right of the spigot is a 40 mm flake type mark that looks like a potters pull. The right rear base heel has a 30 x 18 mm chip, again, the way the glaze is pooled above this it is almost certainly a potters pull from making. A few glaze misses and one or two tiny potters blow outs to be found. Slightly discoloured throughout. Some scratches and minor marks. A few small spots of wear. A superb piece in this rare blue print variety, the first we have sold. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $750 - 1000
