1. Good. On either side of the internal lip are two small corking type bruises of about 10 x 4 and 5 x 4 mm. Dull around the top, shoulder and down one side. Clearly sea found with typical fine pitting all over. A very solid example. 2. Good. Has had lacquer on it which is peeling. Dull, scuffed and worn. Thin 3 x 3 mm chip on the front lip. The colour is unnatural. But whether it has been caused from being in a hot part of the tip or being zapped I am not entirely sure. Either way it is an interesting looking example that stands out on the shelf. Early applied top variety with a pronounced sunken shoulder. With heavy and crude embossing it should polish up well also. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
