Very Good. Some glaze wear and very shallow glaze flakes around the lip. Small V shaped mark to rear blob lip appears to be an under glaze scratch from making. Minor spot of wear and a possible tiny glaze flake to shoulder. Impact type glaze flake to right base edge, discoloured 30 mm hairline along the base edge across this mark. Potters stamp is unusually high on the rear of the bottle. Some discolouration throughout. Some crude marks to the pottery from making. Couple of little glaze flakes to the body. Superb bottle with the distinctive blue print, these are extremely rare and attractive. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $500 - 750
