1. Repaired. The whole neck and top has been rebuilt and the top down to the shoulder has been painted with a dark blue. There is a run of original glaze down the left side. Shallow 15 x 7 mm chip under the front base. A couple of other small under base chips. Minor marks elsewhere. Good impressed stamp. Some scratches. Gap filler. (0.0). 2. Good. Would grade much better but has a 110 mm curving hairline from the back shoulder down to near the right base edge. This is discoloured and in a couple of spots just catches a fingernail. Only light spots of wear to the top and shoulder and minor scratches and marks elsewhere. Displays beautifully and a nice blue print. (6.1). 3. Good. A nice solid bottle but the whole glaze is speckly and discoloured. Light wear to the top of the lip and some scratches to outer blob. A shallow clay pull under the base. Not a bad ginger beer. (6.5). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
