Condition
**In overall good condition with minor wear consistent with age. One cellar has a shallow 1/8" dent on the bowl near the bottom, and a negligible compression dent where the pedestal meets the body making a "ghost" ring on the interior bowl. Marks excellent. The liners have a few scattered tiny frits on the sharp edges, but no cracks or significant chips.
