1. Good. Upper lip flake, 10 x 4 mm and shallow. Smaller upper lip flake, 3 x 2 mm and shallow again. Pot is discoloured throughout with some rust spots as well. Under base chip, which is glazed over and so is from manufacture, but it is obvious, as it is 15 x 4 mm and at one end is quite jagged, this is visible from the ointment side. An unusual example due to this evidence of poor quality control back in the day. 2. Fine+. Token has been cleaned but is re-toning to a nice colour. Good detail. Nice item. Grade: N/A Estimate: $20 - 30
