Excellent. Scratch around the neck, through the glaze mostly, from the metal handle - looks very much from the marks that this is in fact the original handle. Fine hairline of about 35 mm down the back top. A bit of discolouration. Some making marks. Flakes and nibbles around the shoulder where the finish has left a sharp edge. Very attractive Demijohn. Grade: 8 Estimate: $400 - 600
