Excellent. (8). 5 x 3 mm glaze flake to outer right lip edge. A little surface wear and a nick or two to the lip as well, very minor. Small flake under right heel is likely a potters pull from making. Tiny scrape mark to front right shoulder. Slightly scuffed, discoloured scratch to front across the badge, this is pretty much just on the surface and should clean off. Minor discoloured but shallow scratch near rear base edge. Small rusty spot to mid right rear body. One or two small spots of surface wear. Some fine scratches and minor marks. Little glaze nick or two to shoulder, and some scratches around here as well. A really good example of this rare little demijohn. Whilst we have sold three 1 gallon examples before, this is the first half gallon Hedley demijohn that we have handled!. Estimate: $1000-1500
