1. Repaired. Looks like just damage to the top has been repaired although the bottle has overpainting down to the shoulder. A few scratches and scuffs over the surface. Shelf example. (0.0). 2. Good. Pretty much the whole lip is chipped and flaked with some little short fractures along the lip as well. The whole shoulder has glaze wear and a couple of little flakes. Wear around the base edge, there are some minor flakes under the base as well. Some scuffs or marks around the bottle. Looks good on the shelf but could use a bit of work around the lip. (6.4). 3. Fair. Has a large 20 x 15 mm chip to the top right at the front. Left side lip has a 6 x 5 mm chip and a 15 mm fracture and shallow chip. Shallow 4 x 3 mm chip on the front left shoulder. Surface shallow 5 x 3 mm chip to the lower right of the print. A couple of other little glaze flakes and some fine scratches. A bit of discolouration and light stain through the body. (4.5). 4. Fair. Might clean up better but has a dark hairline down the full length of the bottle from the left lip and through the left side of the print. Also a 45 mm one coming from the neck up through the lip. Lip itself is chipped and flaked all around. A couple of finer and harder to see hairlines on the mid back. Surface is a little scruffy as well. Good print and is an OK shelf example but needs a bit of work to come up better. (5.4). Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
