Good. (6.5). Little impact to outer lip edge has an associated little flake. From this along the upper lip is a 40 mm nibbled hairline, there is an associated 30 mm hairline along the inner lip down from this. 33 x 11 mm chip under base edge. 47 x up to 7 mm sliver type chip also under base edge. Some other flaking around base edge. Little glaze flake to shoulder. A bit of fine wear and some scratches in places. Really interesting little jar, vendor suggested it may be from the Trewanack Pottery, a google search seems to confirm this with a couple of examples attributed to Trewanack including in a museum collection..
