Good. (6.3). Handle has been broken off and replaced with a different old Demijohn handle. The joins have not been tidied up at all. The whole top of the lip has the glaze worn with a couple of flakes just going marginally deeper. Quite scruffy around the middle with lots of wear. Good crisp print. The underside of the back base has large chips of 20 x 10; 40 x 15 and 30 x 25 mm. Variation to the other in this auction. This one is definitely worthy of more cleaning up. Estimate: $50-100
