MINT 4 3/4" Storage Jar - “MINT” 4 3/4” Storage Jar – SERIF. Earlier Gresley Church Mark with just Gresley England (not made in England) and impressed #18. VERY RARE IN THIS SIZE. Nice earlier shape. Free of crazing. There is what appears to be a firing fault to the bottom edge with associated fissures/hairline. Slip bump to the top edge of the middle blue band to the LHS of M, and a fault on the top edge of the white band above it. Lettering has a few ink specks. Roughness all around the bottom of the bottom blue band. To the rear there are rubs and firing bubbles in the glaze typical of the earlier production. The top rim of the jar in smooth but there are some brown marks. Inside the neck is a firing fissure. Base very clean with just the part of the fault on the bottom edge. Lid fit is very snug but certainly the right shape and blue for this piece in terms of dating and colour match. Top of lid has some rubbing to the slip. I haven’t seen a Mint storage jar on the open market since I have been collecting apart from this one which has been in my collection and is now available. . Unpacked weight 545g. REF NO: PERSONAL.
