Good. (6). Handle is broken off. Repairs to the lip, there has at least been a large chip to the back top and a small one to the front top. These repairs are aging and showing up more, overpainting to most of the top. Been a repair to the lower left, or at least there is some overpainting here, looks like a body chip of some kind or more likely an overpainted crack. Stain on the bottom. Bit of roughness and wear around. Has with it a rebuilt handle that was attached but has come unstuck. There is something heavy inside! Feels like it is dried and hardened contents of some kind and there is a cork well stuck in the top. Estimate: $50-100
