Excellent. Polished. Outside of this has been really lightly tumbled however it is difficult to even tell. Some fine dusty haze inside, we've cleaned it but looking closely shows it could use another wash. Around the ground lip are some typical shallow flakes and chips. A pot-stone with a tiny fracture from manufacturing under the second U of Manufactured. The surface of a 7 x 5 mm bubble near the base has some little cracks/crazing in the surface of it. Some minor usage wear under the base. A few very fine scratches and scuffs evident. Some really weird manufacturing lines, creases and marks throughout the glass. Really a great looking crudely made preserving jar. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $80 - 120
