N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. 15 x 17 mm flake at base edge, this is quite shallow. Hairline across base edge. Little glaze flake or two. Glaze is better than usual, it has some crazing. Nice lid has a few minor flakes and making marks. 2. Very Good. 13 x 5 mm flat chip along the upper rim. Hole in base which is meant to be there is a bit bigger than it is meant to be. Some discolouration and wear. Has Chinese characters on the side of one of the panels. 3. Fair. Protruding upper stem has about 50 % missing, about 15 x 8 mm. Rust stain. Heavily discoloured in places. Has Chinese characters on the upper part of one of the panels. 4. Good. Actually not sure on the grading. 15 x 3 mm flake along bottom of flared lip. Some rust. This is where I am unsure, this has the roughest glaze I have seen on one of these, very rough like there is large particles of sand throughout, some little glaze pops as well. Not sure if this is the way it was made, or has happened somehow since, such as being in a very hot environment? Therefore, I have not graded this at all. Estimate: $25-50
