Excellent. Surprisingly good example of one of these. Top of the lip has 3 or 4 very fine glaze flakes, at least a couple of which appear to be glaze pops from manufacture. There are a couple of fine hairlines along the upper and inner lip. Neck and shoulder has some crazing bordering on fine glaze hairlines in places. Quite bubbly and crude glaze but apart from some surface scuffs no real faults around the body. Nice ginger beer. Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $20 - 30
