Good. Really crudely made with a few clay pulls around the underside of the base although a couple of these are probably shallow chips as well. Crazing throughout, quite dark in places. 27 x 10 mm chip to the back lip. Surface scratches and marks, also a bit grimy. An interesting early Sharpes demijohn. Grade: 6.8 Estimate: $20 - 30
