Excellent. Some very minor wear and tiny glaze nicks to upper lip, a few tiny marks to outer lip as well. Some fine wear to the sharp shoulder edge. A few small flakes to the base which may be potters pulls from making. A little wear to the base edge with a few shallow flakes as well. Some little potters blow outs. Small, shallow glaze flake next to the A of Cowap. Plenty of specks through the glaze from making. Some minor discolouration in places. Some crazing from manufacture. Some fine scratches. Well impressed, this is a very rare bottle that is from Launceston, which was also made by one of the local potteries adding to its desirability. Grade: 8 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
