Very Good+. Has a very shallow 5mm x 3mm chip to the very top of the lip. There is a 15mm long scratch just through the glaze to the front shoulder. An odd mark 20mm long to the body just to the left of the stamp, however it appears this mark is fired over so seems to be part of manufacture. A little bit of glaze discolouration can be seen in this area as well. Also a bit of discolouration scattered elsewhere. Nice looking Ginger Beer with the two neck tones very distinct. Grade: 8 Estimate: $100 - 125
