Good. Natural dint to the rear lip, but then on the left lip is a repair of what looks like was a reasonably large chip, this is a decent repair. 45 x 24 mm flake chip under right base edge, mostly shallow, this can just be seen to the side. A few other small flakes to the base edge or heel. Fine 20 mm hairline to the lower rear. A few dark scratches to the left shoulder. Some natural lumps from making have worn at the top, these look to be some form of pottery blowout. Light glaze scratches to be found. A little discolouration in places. Quite a unique demijohn with the printing and impression, this is the first one we have ever sold. Grade: 6 Estimate: $500 - 600
