Excellent. However there is an 11 mm firing crack on the lip running from the back end of the pouring lip. This mark has glaze over and in it so has happened during manufacture. From the bottom of the firing crack over a further 25 mm is a very fine slightly discoloured hairline. There is a fine line indent in the ceramic near the print on one side, again from making. Some fine scratches and usage wear type marks. Print is great with only minor wear. A really nice and very hard to get Australian advertising jug. Grade: 8 Estimate: $300 - 400
