1. Fair. The whole front has tiny holes in the glaze that looks like someone has printed braille over it! They look like tiny bubbles have formed in the glaze and then popped in the kiln but use and wear make them look even worse. A couple of small chips in the lip and two or three around the base. Scuffy and worn in general. 2. Very Good. 10 x 5 mm chip to the inner back left lip. Nibbles and fleabites at the shoulder. Glaze has lost some of its gloss. Mark at the base edge from making. Lovely strong print. Great looking ginger beer. 3. Very Good. Rust from the crown cap all around the lip. 13 x 10 mm chip at the front left base edge. Pair of minor 5 x 5 mm chips at the front base. Light scuffs and marks. Great print, a very nice looking bottle. 4. Good. Polished. Annealing marks to inner lip. Remains of heavy fisheyes and impact marks throughout. Plenty of crate wear across the rounded embossing as well. 5. Very Good. Glaze wear all around. Some fleabites and nibbles. 9 x 7 mm chip at the back left base. Big hole in the middle of the base (not all the way through!) but this is clearly a kiln blowout or similar. Nice strong stamps with chalk in them for further highlighting. Good looking bottle. 6. Good. 10 x 10 mm chip at the front base edge. Glaze wear and small marks all around the lip, shoulder and base edge. A bit of general wear. Nice strong stamp. Grade: N/A Estimate: $150 - 200
