Very Good. This has a wooden stopper. Wire handy is quite rusty. Couple of impact marks to upper lip have some hairlines running along the upper lip from them. Couple of other spots of wear to the upper lip edge. Flake under right base heel, may be a potters pull. Fine glaze flake to front base edge. Some glaze wear to the body, heaviest around the upper body near the shoulder. Some scratches and minor marks. This was obviously an L. McSwiney with the L fashioned into an odd A during manufacture. One of three McSwiney variations on offer in this auction. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $75 - 100
