Excellent. First of all this one has all the original fittings: Special wooden stopper in the top, Metal handle and the tap still with original cork. Some very minor rub around the neck and shoulder from the handle. A few spots and marks on the shoulder most of which will clean off. A couple of potters faults around the front shoulder and to the left side is a 30 x 24 mm patch of what looks like spilt slip clay or similar from the firing. Any usage wear is minor. Maybe a patch of discolouration or two. A short scratch on the edge of the tap instructions. All in all we are working hard to find faults this is a superb demijohn in immaculate condition. One of the best and most attractive demijohns around. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $5000 - 6000
