Excellent. Great example of a very rare jug. Some manufacturing marks around the body are the most noticeable thing but there is some slight wear on the widest part of the jug. The base edge has had some red or orange paint over it and there is a very shallow 11 x 6 mm chip there as well and two smaller glaze chips around from this. Strong print and quite a crudely made piece. Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $300 - 400
