Excellent. (8). Some stain or spotty glaze around the lower parts. Something has been spilt over the right shoulder and is stuck to the surface. Lip in great shape with just a couple of glaze flakes. No stopper. Some scratches over the right front. Little bit of wear generally. Scraped section to front right shoulder over maybe 20 mm or so through the glaze, looks to be a making mark. 20 x 6 mm chip at the front base edge under the tap. Original tap handle (looks like the original cork around it too but this has mostly disintegrated). Lovely Demijohn and very hard to get. Estimate: $800-1500
