Excellent. Some rust in the neck where a handle has been. All the front shoulder is chippy where the grooves have been made by the potter. A handful of silver coloured surface scratches on the left side. Patches of whiter glaze on the tap, down the right side and to the lower front. Overall a lovely jar. Grade: 8 Estimate: $70 - 100
