Excellent. Back top lip probably does have a couple of small chips but also there is glaze in parts of the rough indent here so at least partly from making as well. Down the back are a couple of deep grooves and marks that are from the potter being a bit careless! A little kiln blowout mark on the E of Ginger. Some of the black ink has run slightly when being made as well. 7 x 6 mm chip under the heel and some other manufacturing marks around the base edge. Lovely glazes and the print is pretty bold. Nice Demijohn. Grade: 8.1 Estimate: $60 - 80
