The molded rib that runs around the body 1 in. above the foot is restored all the way around presumably to cover fritting. There is considerable fritting and several restored chips around the edge of the foot. The other jar has a small bruise to the edge of the foot rim. This one does not have the raised band 1 in. above the foot.
