1. Very Good. Small flake to left upper lip. Dint to right lip from making. Some fine upper lip wear. Scrape mark to front right base edge from making. Some spots of glaze wear and a few scratches. 2. Good. Very thin band of inner lip wear. Possibly a very small chip or flake has been filled and coloured to front lip, this is minor. Some minor wear to the sharp shoulder edge. I nearly missed it, but there is a repair to the front base edge as well. The paint is blended in very well, but seems to start beside the potters stamp and goes across to the left base edge, and possibly up to the bottom of the printed stamp. Some discolouration. Now I just noticed the left body has a patch of paintwork too, a repaired body chip maybe, or likely to disguise a hairline? Discoloured scratch down length of right rear. Couple of scratches through the glaze, but these are short. A few issues, but expertly disguised, this looks good as is. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
