1. Fair. Shame about the damage otherwise this would be a really nice looking example. Poorly filled chip to the front left lip that is 12 x 9 x 1.5 mm and from this extends a hairline another 30 mm down the neck. There are at least 2 other internal lip chips that have been badly filled and another shallow flake off the top of the side lip. Some other fine hairlines can be seen near the top. Bit of rust stain and marks over the body and some scratches to the side and back. At the base are 2 more badly filled chips that measure 20 x 8 mm and 15 x 6 mm. Good strong stamp and nice coloured neck/shoulder glaze. Needs a bit of work however. (5.3) 2. Fair. Some really poorly filled chips to the top, not certain just how big the chips are under this but looks like they are quite large. There is other wear and small flakes around the lip. Around 100 mm hairline down the front from the top to the shoulder just above the print. Body of the bottle is a bit scuffed and scratched but should clean up a bit better. (5.1) Grade: N/A Estimate: $15 - 25
