1. Repaired. Some upper lip flakes and small chips have been repaired. The screw stopper has Blutak around the thread for some reason, creating a very tight fit. Restoration to lower body, appears to come up a fair way to the rear getting close to half way up the white section. Even looks like the restoration has gone right across the underside of the base. I would suggest there were some very large chips around the base, but have no way of ascertaining the full extent. 2. Repaired. No idea where, one of those WA repair jobs with a plastic feel to it. Could have been only a lip chip, but also could be through the neck, can't tell. It is certainly original to half way up the tan at least, I personally feel the repair was only in the crown area, but don't know the extent at all. Some dirty looking glaze wear throughout. With a good clean this will look good on the shelf. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
