Excellent. It is actually pretty hard to fault this jar other than the crude potters marks to be found. There is a shallow 5 x 5 mm chip at the right base edge. But mostly you look at things like the bubbly glaze, all sorts of indents and imperfections and a large glaze miss at the back. All add character to this really nice jar. Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $70 - 100
