Fair. I showed this to a prominent WA collector who informed me that they had a range of wares along these lines, but he had not seen a jug this large before. The important Store side looks really good, some scratches to the design. There is a chip under the base edge to the left a bit which can just be seen from the front. The bottom right of the design has the end of a fine hairline touching it, this curves around to the other side where it turns and goes straight up through the King, turning into a wide crack in this vertical section. Where it meets the rim there is an inner rim chip and split. Chip to one side of pouring spout on outside. Crazing. Wear to gold leaf design around rim. Quite fragile with the crack down one side. Grade: 5 Estimate: $50 - 75
