1. Very Good. There is a crack/fracture under the base, this seems to come off the edge of an internal air bubble and runs for about 50 mm. The outer lip has a shallow 6 x 1 mm flake and the inner lip has two 2 x 1 mm flakes. There are some scratches and dullness to the surface and a little bit of internal stain. Around the crude base on one of the plain sides there is a bit of roughness that could be shallow chipping or just a leftover from manufacturing, not a major issue anyway. Solid enough example. (7.1). 2. Excellent. Beautiful piece of black glass. Heavily whittled surface, strong and crude embossing. There is actually a shallow 5 x 5 mm chip on the lip that is well disguised because of the dark colour of the glass. Some spots of dullness and light scuffs and scratches elsewhere. Lovely, early schnapps. (8.2). Grade: N/A Estimate: $25 - 35
