Excellent. Wire handle is rusty but solid. Tiny nick to upper lip. Rough spot to a lump to upper lip from making. Tiny nick to shoulder. A few discoloured surface scratches which are short. Diagonal rusty coloured streak to lower rear seems to be a surface mark. Some drip type streaks to rear which are a little darker than the standard glaze, these look to be under the glaze so may be from making. Some scattered scratches. Little white spots to shoulder are glaze misses. Couple of spots of paint to be found. Quite a lovely example of this rare demijohn, there is only one other example known to collectors.
