All are good to very good with varying amounts of black stain inside the bowl from use over the years. The one with palm leaf type design to bowl only has stain and a couple of little flakes to bowl. Plain one with serrated bowl edge has a chip to the end of the stem, a split to the rear of the bowl above the stem and plenty of dirt and stain. The smaller one with the leaf at the bottom of the bowl and hobnails to lower half of bowl has heavy black inner stain, good otherwise. The example with knotted stump as a bowl has a couple of flakes to bowl rim and some stain, but good otherwise. The last example with draped scale type pattern to bowl has some chipping around the bowl rim. Some smoky stain internally, but quite white externally, so may have been cleaned. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
