Very Good. Pretty much no damage whatsoever, maybe a tiny glaze nick or two, but nothing of note. A few light scuffs to be found. The face looks great, with minor spots of discolouration to the very edge where the white can be seen. Underneath and around the flange there is heavy discolouration and crazing, the crazing due to the discolouration appears as harilines in areas. One spot on the side flange where the glaze has missed, this is from manufacture. This may clean up in the right solution leaving a near perfect example, otherwise it is great as it is from the front. Does not come with a base. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $150 - 200
