Very Good. Minor glaze flakes and scrapes to the sharp shoulder edge on the front left side. Some scratches to the highly glossy glaze to the body. The rear base on the body of the demijohn has a shallow 15 x 14 mm flake. There are a few other small flakes under the base as well. There are some run marks where some liquid has ran down the demijohn, this will need to be cleaned off. Some of the lettering is double printed, too heavily struck or too lightly struck. With the very dark striking print on the glossy white body and the blue lip, this is a superb looking demijohn from Melbourne. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $75 - 100
