Good. (6). Handle is broken off. Glaze is worn off the back lip, front lip feels a bit worn but still has most of the glaze. Some stain throughout. Deep scratches on the back shoulder and upper back where someone has slipped using some sort of grinder to smooth down the handle stubs. A couple of shallow clay pull type chips under the left base. A cork has been stuck in the top, it's a later one though. Nice little demijohn, displays ok and should certainly clean up more. Estimate: $25-50
