Very Good. (7). Crack from the back rim runs down the back to the bottom of the handle, about 165 mm. Crack can be seen inside as well and curls around the bottom handle join. Coming off the bottom part of the crack are a couple of glaze hairlines that can only be seen on the outside. One of these lines goes down to the base (50 mm) and the other runs across to the print (30 mm). Rest of the jug is in great shape. Some wear and fading to parts of the overglaze print but for the most part it is in great shape. There is some gold leaf decoration on the rim and handle that also just has some wear. Wonderful bar jug.. Estimate: $2000-3000
