Roberts is Good. It has a 150 mm curving hairline/crack down the back that has been cleaned. From the front presents as Near Mint! Derwin has been in two pieces and very neatly stuck together! Looks like a fine hairline/crack around the lower body although there is some flaking along the edges of the join. Fine hairline on the shoulder and side body. Deformed top from manufacture is interesting - a wonder it made it out of the pottery! Interesting pair of bottles. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
