N/A. (N/A). 1. Repaired. The entire blob has been painted, there is major restoration here. Lump to left shoulder is from making. Some little flakes and nibbles around the shoulder edge. Some slightly larger shoulder flakes have been filled and coloured. 10 x 10 mm chip to front upper left has been filled and painted, this includes the upper part of the AND. A few small flakes to base edge. One or two glaze flakes to the body. Some small patches of surface rust. 2. Fair. No stopper. 6 x 8 mm flake to outer left lip. 5 x 4 mm flake to front left shoulder. 9 x 4 mm chip to right rear base edge, another 11 x 5 mm chip to the left rear base edge and a couple of other smaller flakes as well. There is a base edge sliver over about 22 x up to 3 mm at front base edge. Around lower body is a fine hairline, there is some rust in this to the right and rear. The main thing with this is glaze flaking all over. Not sure what has caused this, but it is extensive. The flakes are not large by any means, but they are all over, to a lesser extent down the front though which is a bonus. 3. Good. Some chips around the crown have been repaired, mostly around the upper lip, but a couple may come down to the lower lip crown. Some dust and grime which will clean off. A few minor glaze flakes around the base edge. Print is a little faded. Some minor glaze wear in places. Estimate: $50-100
