Very Good. The inner lip has some splits from making. A bit of wear just through the glaze from the handle on the lower blob top. Odd 11 x 8 mm chip to front base edge. Couple of scrapes either side of this appear to be from making. On the base edge underneath are four or five flake chips, a few of these appear to be pottery pulls from making, a couple are more recent. Some dark horizontal lines, one near base, a couple mid body. Not sure what these are, they appear to be on the surface. Some discolouration, scuffs and scratches to be found. Crudely made, glaze miss to the upper right shoulder. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $75 - 100
