Good. Almost half of the lip is chipped, mostly on the inside but down about 7 mm. A bit of wear to the neck and around the top. Body has scuffs and marks and a bit of a dirty appearance. A couple of larger chips at the base edge of 30 x 14 and 20 x 17 mm. Some fine hairlines at the base edge, most notably through the warning print. A pretty decent example but could use a clean up. Grade: 6.5 Estimate: $70 - 100
