Very Good. (7.5). Much harder to get variety with BOTTLE printed rather than Jar. Has a marked wooden stopper in place which is different to normal. A bit of dust and grime which will clean off. Some hard rusty lumps to outer lip look like they will come off as well. Water type stain down front, this will soak off. Rear lower body has dark divots, these are making marks. Right base edge has a shallow scrape type mark, probably from making. 80 mm glaze hairline to upper front through the badge, this is extremely fine and minor. A few scratches and minor marks. Some minor spots of discoloured wear. Great example of this very hard to get demijohn. Estimate: $100-150
