Excellent. Great piece with the large trade mark and print, longer neck of this British made example. The wide handle has some minor corrosion. This has some grime which will clean off. Couple of minor pottery pulls under the base. Left base edge and heel has a couple of very small scrapes or flakes. Some fine scratches to the highly shiny glaze. Odd mark between trade and the actual trade mark is a making mark. Other making marks scattered around such as the odd glaze pop and some lumps and divots. Lovely example of a lovely demijohn. One of seven variations on offer this auction! Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $200 - 250
