Good. Some fine upper lip wear. Several chips and flakes around the base edge. Deep gouge type mark to rear upper body and shoulder from making. Short fine hairline or two. A lot of glaze wear and some scratches scattered around. I think that's it? Oh, nearly missed the minor stain! This has a heavy dark stain throughout, a brown, slightly orange looking stain. There are a few patches of white to be seen, so I would suggest this is not as made. Seems to have a different stamp to normal, usually these have ONE GALLON within the upper border, and words below the demijohn such as unapproachable. Grade: 6 Estimate: $40 - 60
