Excellent. This has no stopper. Tiny nick to inner lip edge. Scratch type mark to lower right neck. Scrape to front shoulder from making. Glaze misses to lower body are a bit discoloured, also from making. Dark surface scratch to front and left towards bottom, quite minor and will likely clean off. Scrape to left body is mostly under glaze and from making. Split to middle under the base is from making. Couple of small sliver type marks to base edge seem to be pottery pulls. The top of the handle has a blue under glaze design, possibly to signify the contents as being distilled water? This is quite a fabulous piece. Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $100 - 150
