1. Very Good. Cork stoppered variety. Some glaze wear around the lip has been coloured over. Similar thing done to parts of the shoulder plus there are a couple of chips to the left side: 7 x 7 mm and 6 x 2 mm. There is some lacquer or similar to parts of the surface but no obvious major issues. On the inside you can see a few fine spider web like hairlines so probably the same to the surface. A solid enough bottle that needs a good clean most of all. 2. Very Good. The whole top of the lip has had the glaze worn off it, nothing too deep in the way of chipping though. Glaze wear around most of the shoulder too. A very fine 55 mm hairline to the ride body. Just below the Mauri Bros stamp are a couple of very small impact marks and two very short fine hairlines. A bit of wear around the body. You can see the main stamp has been applied once weakly and then the second one is still a bit weak through the middle. A solid bottle. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
