The bottle’s remarkably without any significant structural or superficial damage, less one small chip on the lower edge running along the base. The salt-glazed finish still has a glossy, reflective finish. The bottom of the wheel-thrown bottle shows evidence of being cut from the potter’s wheel with a wire. The bulbous pouring spout is largely free of flea-bites and noticeable ceramic loss.
