Repaired. (0). Has been repaired around the lip. I have looked inside with a borescope and the neck and so forth is fine. Parts of the inner lip have definitely been painted over as well so likely that at least a fair section of the lip has been rebuilt. But hard to tell the extent outside with overpainting being blended down to the shoulder. Interesting body with swirls of grey and white in the glaze from making. Some dark scratches or ink smudges through the middle of the stamp. Good looking example. Estimate: $100-200
