1. Excellent. Some glaze discolouration, but likely the way it was made. Very interesting, unique item that is clearly stamped on both sides. One side is weakly impressed, hence they tried again on the other side, and did a much better job. 2. Fair. Flakes around the lip. Crack to right lip goes down across shoulder and curves to the rear mid body and curves back up to the shoulder. Another crack to left lip goes down and across the shoulder. These are wide cracks. Flake under base. 22 mm sliver flake to left base edge. Impact and thin flake to front base edge. A lovely looking jar on the shelf. 3. Very Good. 15 x 10 mm deep chip to rear shoulder. This appears to be a blow out, but is very chip like so called a chip in this instance. A few minor scratches and marks. A nice, early cheese jar. Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
