1. Very Good. But there is a very fine 70 mm hairline in the front shoulder and down through the LL of Mullens. Little 2 x 1.5 mm mark on the back lip looks like a bubble in the glaze has burst in firing. A dark scrape down the back. A few other scratches and scuffs. Some grime on the surface. Nice bottle. (7.2) 2. Very Good. 4 x 3 mm glaze chip to the front lip. 8 mm impact and horseshoe mark on top of the lip. A fine hairline on the top and down the inside of the back lip. A few other fleabites and nibbles around. 23 mm dark shovel scrape to the right of the print. Scruffy appearance around the shoulder and base. Will present a lot better with a good soaking clean. Solid enough as it is. (7.2) Grade: N/A Estimate: $$80.00 - $100.00
