Making split to underside of original handle. Shallow 5 x 5 mm glaze flake to lower handle where it is applied to body. 30 x 30 mm mark to front left upper body is some form of kiln kiss from making. Three small glaze flakes to body at rear. Lump of pottery from making to rear base edge has a couple of flakes to it and some wear. General discolouration to the body. Superb double dipped effect, this is a great little demijohn! Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $400 - 500
