Condition
Repair to rim and shoulder (visible on interior, but barely distinguishable on exterior) with repainting on repaired area. Expected surface wear with minor chips to rim, slight chipping/fading to paint, some light pitting, and nicks throughout, all commensurate with age. Otherwise, excellent with nice remaining pigment and lovely earthen deposits throughout.
