1. Good. Two shallow chips to the lip of 7 x 5 mm and 8 x 4 mm. Heavy wear all around the bottle. Stamp has some chalk in it to highlight it but is also a bit weak in places. Kiln kiss at the lower front shoulder. Some other light marks around. Decent enough bottle. 2. Fair. Repaired chips to the top, shoulder and base edge. A lacquer has been used over the whole surface as well. Looking inside the bottle shows it to be solid in there. Looks like the surface is dull under the lacquer. There are kiln marks and the like. A huge indent in the back is from making, again looking inside you can see where the bottle dints in at this spot. Good looking example. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
