1. Very Good. May have been oiled internally some time ago. Fine and small bruise to rear base edge. Little nibble section to rear lower lip. Crudely made lip with making marks within. Light haze. Lovely colour, great trade mark, harder to get than the usual White Crow. 2. Excellent. What a great, deep colour. Some inner stain which looks like it will wash out at least in part. Tiny mark to lip. Tiny rear base nibble. Couple of small impact marks around base. A few light scratches. Great piece. 3. Very Good. Tiny nibbles to upper lip. Stained throughout. 4. Excellent. A few little nibbles around the lip. A few fine scratches on inner neck. A little bit of very light inner haze. Tiny flake to left seam line. Some light scratches. Quite an early example, in a lovely colour, this is one of the better examples of the dozens of varieties that we have seen. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
