An exceedingly crude piece, the upper lip has a kiln kiss on it, whatever caused this pushed that side of the lip down so that it is on a large angle now, the shoulder below this off to the left also has a small kiln kiss. The glaze has a pinprick effect throughout. A wonderful piece of early pottery, likely Australian but totally unmarked, unfortunately. 2. Excellent. Some grime. Some minor scuffs and scratches.
