Very Good (7.5). The jug itself is in great shape. Tiny flake on the front of the pouring lip. Small indent to the edge of the lip but it is smooth and is from making. The print is really strong and crisp on one side and very faded on the other. The gold rim is also worn off on the faded side. On the good side at the lower left are fine joined hairlines that look about 20 and 15 mm on the outside but are more clearly seen inside and are roughly 50 and 15 mm. Nice piece overall and displays really well. Last example of these we had was back in Auction 26 (Lot 854). EST: $400 - 600
