1. Very Good. Some upper lip wear with a small glaze flake or two, these may have been coloured a little with blue pen or texta. Some fine wear to shoulder edge. Potters lump below front shoulder has some wear to upper part. Small flake to front base edge. Spots of wear to the glaze throughout. Lovely, clear impression. 2. Excellent. Some possible fine wear in small spots to upper lip, hidden under grime it is hard to say but it definitely is better than usual. Some other spots of grime around the body. Discoloured spots around the body, likely these black specks are from making. A nice example. 3. Very Good. Wear through glaze around lip has been touched up in places, the blue paint is flaking off a bit now though. Wear and flakes around shoulder edge, some of these have been painted as well. Some nibbled wear to base edge with a flake or two as well. 55 mm curved glaze hairline to the right side. Short glaze hariline to rear. A bit of discolouration and general body glaze wear.
