Excellent. Glaze nick to upper right lip, to the front right lip is another nick through the glaze. Little flake under rear base. A few small spots of wear to the body glaze with one or two little flakes. Front base edge has a sliver type flake amongst some pottery marks, likely a pottery pull. Crudely made, there are plenty of lumps and bumps and also a lovely crude glaze. A great and early piece of pottery from Melbourne, these are quite hard to get. Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $300 - 400
