Great piece with no chips or cracks. There is some surface wear and build up and as seen is a very nice looking piece. The metal bail has some rust, surface wear and build up but works great and is completely solid. There is many very beautiful straw marks covering the piece looking very nice. The embossed print is bold and is easy to see and read. This may need some more cleaning. This is a great piece to add to your collection....
