Excellent. Stunning bottle made by one of the Tasmanian potteries. Crude glaze drips, nice colours and a good impression make this one of the better ones that we have seen. Inner front lip has a little dint from making, there is a tiny nick to the edge of this. Front shoulder has a 3 x 3 mm pottery blowout. 10 mm scratch to front above stamp appears to be on surface only. Four little flakes under the base would be pottery pulls from making, the largest being only 8 x 3 mm. Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $150 - 200
