Excellent. Quite a different Sharpe's here being all white and the stamp is different to normal too. A couple of very shallow glaze flakes to the inner lip edge. The wire handle is rusty. Couple of tiny nicks to shoulder edge. There are a few chip like marks under the base which are pottery pulls. A couple of gouge type making marks. A few scratches, one or two are a bit discoloured. A few little spots of grime. Speckly glaze throughout from making. A nice piece that would go well in any Sharpe demijohn collection. Grade: 8.4 Estimate: $200 - 250
