1. Poor. Has been in pieces and glued together. Some chipping to the mid back. Little piece glued in on the back lip as well. Looks like it has been in three large pieces otherwise. Has actually been glued together pretty well but still needs a lot of work. Apart from the glued section, there is a hairline down through the trade mark to the base at the front. Gap filler for someone. (0.0). 2. Poor. The top has been repaired somewhere and has been heavily overpainted all the way down to the shoulder, looks to be replaced in the lower neck region. Body of the bottle is dull and scuffy and could use a good clean up. Some wear to the glaze. Gap filler. (0.0). 3. Poor. Very ugly discoloured repair around nearly all of the upper lip. Shallow chip to the back shoulder, a few other little flakes around the shoulder. Crazing and fine discoloured hairlines around the base. The lip needs reworking and a general cleanup to the bottle and this would be an OK example. (3.5). 4. Poor. The top 17 mm of the top have been replaced and glued on. Rest of the bottle is solid with some scuffs, scratches and little flakes. Really needs the repair done better. Shelf example. (0.0) Grade: 5 Estimate: $40 - 60
