The Skeyhill has had some repairs done to the lip. Most of it is overpainted but not sure how big the filled chips may have been. Some scuffs to the surface and flecks of green paint in that around the upper body. Some small chips around the base edge. The Neilson would be one of the best examples ever BUT there is a 95 mm hairline through the middle of the front print. Just a couple of glaze flakes to the lip and some minor marks otherwise. Nice pair of bottles. Grade: N/A Estimate: $$70.00 - $100.00
