Small potters blowout to upper rear above the label. 5 x 3 mm flake to right rear base edge. 15 mm crack across base edge near potters stamp looks to be from making, this continues a bit further along under the base. 15 x 7 mm flake under front base edge may well be a potters pull from making. Some making marks. Spot or two of paint to be found. The blue print is almost embossed, you can feel it when you run yours fingers over it. Label has some holes and is heavily stained in places, but the main parts are readable. Great example overall of this very large size jar. Estimate: $100-150
