1. Good. Repaired front lip. There is a fair bit of overpainting, checking with a pin for soft filler it would appear the largest dimensions around 35 mm x 8 mm. There are some fleabites at the back that have had paint or texta roughly put on them but they still show out. The rest of the bottle just has minor scuffs and scratches plus a couple of very shallow clay pulls under the base. About the best stamp we've seen on one of these! The repair is not bad, looks decent on the shelf but could definitely be touched up a bit better. Still a nice bottle. (6.0) 2. Good. Has two chips to the top that have had frankly horrible attempts to fill them (14 x 13 mm and 10 x 8 mm). A much better job could easily be done with these! Rest of the lip has some flaking and glaze wear. Body of the bottle has some stain but basically quite a solid bottle. Attractive print. (6.0) Grade: N/A Estimate: $$70.00 - $100.00
