Good. (6). A crack runs around the middle from the bottom left edge of the Coat of Arms, around the back and through a kiln blowout at the mid back which is also chipped in the top half and then ends just below the right handle. So pretty much around three quarters of the body and it does have a bit of movement to it so beware this could be very fragile to post. Chips on the top lip of 15 x 14 and 8 x 5 mm. Hairline crack across the bottom that also runs 25 mm up the front and 45 mm up the back, this is also visible on the inside. Dirt and grime. The usual firing marks and the like around. A few chips on the limestone insert. Wooden tap is a later one that fits. The decoration is very impressive, worth stabilising the crack around the middle. (late Ern Taylor Collection).. Estimate: $100-150
