Very Good. Impact to left rear upper lip has a fine horseshoe hairline from it along the upper lip. The right lip has a fine glaze hairline coming down a short distance. Handle is rusty and a tad distorted as well. Some rusty wear where the handle has rubbed on upper neck. Potters blowout to left rear shoulder edge. A small glaze flake or two to shoulder edge. Couple of slivers and a flake or two to base edge, these are smooth and look to be making marks. Some discoloured spots to body. There are some dark scuffed areas but these are reasonably small. Some scratches and minor marks. Plenty of dust and grime, this will clean off. A nice demijohn, the print is really good on this example. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $75 - 125
