****NOTE: there maybe on the top what some consider flea bites on the top. It feels completely smooth but I barely see it I don’t think it takes away at all from this piece I can’t even say it’s a flaw I have it in the pictures and have priced accordingly and took out museum quality even though I feel like it still is. Pictures show it all you decide. Thank you..While many of these surviving utilitarian jugs suffer from heavy wear, this specific piece is an incredible, investment-grade survivor.### Key Features & Collector Points:
