Good. (6.7). 4 x 4 mm flake to front shoulder edge. 2 x 2 mm glaze flake to outer right rear lip. Discoloured crazing to inner lip. Little nick to side of handle. A few small flakes around the shoulder. Grimy, this will clean off. A few little potters blowouts around the body. Some spotty glaze wear. 60 x 30 mm depressed section to front below badge is a making mark, like a glaze miss, but one that has been glazed? Some scratches and minor marks. Main thing with this is a wee chip to lower rear body down to the base edge. From the base, this comes up 55 mm and goes across about 50 mm! Immediately above this is a flake over 20 x 8 mm. An easy repair, and at the rear so does not detract. A rare demijohn in this large size, we have never sold a 2 gallon variety before.. Estimate: $200-300
