Excellent. But there are numerous chips all around the base edge. Actually looks like the glaze has overrun a bit down to the edge and been brittle and easily chipped up to about 10 mm from the base. Scuffing around the middle. Bit of glaze wear and rub here and there. Front is nice. Great looking later Demijohn. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $40 - 60
