Very Good. Original pictorial stopper is different to the standard one. Minor lip wear, a dint from making as well. Wire handle is rusty. 30 x 20 mm chip to front right base edge. Couple of small flakes to the front left base. 23 x 10 mm flake chip to left base edge. 24 x 14 mm horseshoe crack to left rear base edge. Odd dimpled effect to the glaze from manufacture. Some fine scuffs and scratches. Little kiln kiss type mark to right side of print to upper body, this is a making mark. Nice demijohn which you do not see often in this variation. Grade: 7 Estimate: $100 - 150
