Very Good. A glaze miss to upper lip. There are some crude making splits to the inner top, some dark scuffs around the lip as well. Rust staining and discolouration to much of the body. Poorly filled flake chip to front base, this was not a large chip to start with, about 12 x 8 mm but only 1-2 mm deep at the worst. Some crude glaze drips under the base, some minor flakes and nibbled sections, seemingly from making. Quite a crudely made bottle, a good clean will bring this up a grade. This is known as the lighter top variation, yet it is a couple of shades darker than another we have compared against. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $200 - 300
