​Condition:
The top rim shows wear to the gilding. There is an area near the upper outer rim with overpaint/touch-up filler, likely covering a previous glaze chip or surface imperfection. There is a small chip on the inner top rim and a few minor flea bites/small chips along the outer edges and bottom corners of the foot rim. Good antique condition overall.
