1. Very Good. Small flake chip to left rear lip. Some wear to upper lip with a nick or two. A few tiny chips and some minor wear to base edge. A few spots of wear to the making lumps around the body. A few little discoloured spots and minor marks. We have three variations from this company in this auction. (7.4). 2. Poor. We have been told that this is a rarer variation? It has been burnt. A majority of the damage is to the rear, so OK for the shelf? Large chip to the rear outer blob top. Back half of the upper lip is chipped down a bit. Five larger chips around the shoulder with some smaller ones and some wear too. Kiln kisses to shoulder are bubbled from the fire. Black stain around should and lip and some dark stain down rear are all results of the fire. Chips to the body down the rear, probably popped out due to heat. Heavy crazing to the rear. Wear to the glaze in places. Adelaide has no A at the start, not even a remnant of it. Chip to right of impressed stamp. (2.7). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
