1. Good. Left lip has a dint with an unglazed flake type mark, this is a kiln kiss from making. Small flake to right upper lip. Horseshoe crack to lower front lip across 30 mm and up the blob about 14 mm. The left leg below the lip goes about half way down the neck before disappearing. The right leg can be seen down to the shoulder, and then gets very fine but can be traced to the right side of the impressed stamp. A little fine shoulder wear. Some fine wear to base edge. Body has some minor scratches and spots of wear. Typically crude for one of these. 2. Good. Flake across front lip is in a dint and like the first item, appears to be a kiln kiss. With a kiln kiss to shoulder directly below this, it looks very likely to be the case. Some very fine lip wear. Left shoulder has a deep 11 x 7 mm chip with a similar sized flake coming from it. Nibbled flake under rear base. Flake to right base edge. Small flake to rear base edge. Some spots of wear and minor marks. Very well impressed. A nice piece. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
