Excellent. Large kiln kiss to front left shoulder, 55 x 25 mm. Under base flake chip which would be a clay pull from making from when it was removed from the potters wheel, this is 37 x 12 mm, a second one on the opposite side is 27 x 15 mm. These are both entirely underneath. There is some streaky discolouration. Plenty of glaze pops, lumps, dips and marks throughout. The right rear shoulder edge has one that may be a chip, this is 9 x 7 mm. Some hard surface crud around the lip, which would be remains of some contents. This will scrape off with some persuasion. A bit of surface crazing to the neck and a fair bit of dust as well. Lovely, crude piece of pottery. Grade: 8 Estimate: $100 - 150
