Fair. (5.5). Has a Hoffman stopper in place. 40 x 17 mm chip to outer left lip. About a 150 mm hairline up from the front base edge, goes a little way under the base as well. Flake to front left lower shoulder. Some small glaze flakes around the lip. A bit of discolouration. Oh, and this has the pox! Neck glaze has popped throughout, this is from making, but gives it a rough appearance. The body has a multitude of large lumps, some of which have wear on the high points. One at the lower front right near the base edge has burst leaving a deep hole. If you want a crude and unique example, then this is for you. Estimate: $30-50
