Very Good. No lid with this one. 15 x 5 mm chip to front right rim, which would be entirely hidden by a lid. A little bit of grime. Looks like the pink is above glaze, this is in great condition. A few minor scratches and marks. Very minor hairline to rim at front left, this would also be under the lid. Fabulous looking item. Grade: 7 Estimate: $50 - 75
