Good. (6.2). First thing is that the potter has applied the stamp upside down! There is a crack across the middle of the bottle running through the "top" of the word Beer in the stamp. This middle part of the crack is actually chipped in the middle leading to a 20 x 3 mm section of kind of a horizontal surface chip. There is a lower horizontal crack running to the left side about 60 mm. Where this and the mid crack meet there is a 60 mm hairline, much finer than these other lines, up toward the shoulder. The right end of the first crack curves into two hairlines of about 30 mm each going up and down. Wear around the shoulder and base. Kiln kiss on the front left lip. Some wear spots and marks. A few flakes around the base. Interesting example. Estimate: $100-200
