Very Good. Glaze hairline to front left from lip to shoulder, this can be seen both inside and outside. Kiln kiss to right body is a little ugly, a large lump of pottery next to a large chip type mark. Couple of small chips or flakes under base edge. Crude glaze drips around base edge as well, so they may well all be making marks. A few scratches. The round thin pressed metal thing is missing the bottom section. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $100 - 150
