Excellent. A glaze flake or two on the lip. Line of wear on the neck from the wire handle. Big making indent to the side from the apparently clumsy potter! Very crude around the base but all from making. Lovely example of a scarce Demijohn. Interesting to note this has a different year in the potters stamp to one we sold back in Auction 36.
