Good. Handle has been professionally restored. There are a few thin splits along this restored handle, the pottery may have shrunk slightly when it was restored? There is some over painting around the rear lip and neck where the handle meets the body and down, this would have been to blend the restoration in. The base edge opposite the handle side has some professional restoration as well. Impossible to tell exactly, but there is some paintwork in this area that is recent, similar paintwork to the handle. Extremely good jobs, hence it is difficult to ascertain extremities. Some crude marks to the rear from making in the form of odd lumps. Some scratches throughout of varying depths to the glaze. A great looking example of a rare piece! Grade: 6.2 Estimate: $500 - 750
