Item is sold As Is. Please refer to all pictures and the following text for a fuller description of this item. This item won't be packed until sale, so serious inquiries can message me, and I can send some more for your inspection. So, I'm saying "Good" with a caveat, so continue to read.. The Elephant in the room is the crack detailed on pictures 5, 6, and 7. This was my family's, and we retailer used it through the 80's, and possibly longer(I was out of state, so I'm not sure past my own experience). The crack starts out at the base(I'm sure that it was the impact point, and has since grown), makes its way past the leaf pattern(Pictures 5, then 6), and ends up next to my finger(Picture 7). As you can see, though, the severity of the crack decreases significantly, and doesn't seem to be structural yet.

There's a chip associated with the crack, one on the base's top lip(Picture 8, 10 o'clock position). Picture 9 shows what looks to be two chips, but that's a trick of the light. No chips, there. There are a few production errors on the base, from what looks to be a gouge in the mold(Pictures 3 and 4), pock marks and a little uneven glazing, and thing that looks like a chip in Picture 10? It's sticking out. Production error.

Having said all that, it's still an amazing piece of Midcentury pottery. This base was produced from 1950 to 1980, and has that beautiful 50's floral theme, and those colors! A perfect fit for anything Midcentury.
