This one was also pretty dirty with some black soot and rust with 2 drips gone and a third partially flaked. I set it down and walked out, not wanting to spend $7 on a damaged piece. I saw in the price guide a listing for jade-aqua milk, so back I went and ponied up the cash hoping that the one clean part of the 114 which showed a tiny bit of milk was actually the tip of the ice berg. It wasn't but the nice light-green color made up for it and some collectors I have shown it to said it makes a good case for lime green. I've tried to get a good photo of this many times, but it just doesn't show very well. It's definitely a darker color green than the photo shows. I'll re-submit if I can get a better shot in the future.
