1. Repaired. Restored through neck somewhere, entire tan section is painted, lip looks wrong shape too. Painted down right side of trade mark to the lower part of the bottle, probably to disguise a crack. Small chip to base edge below potters stamp. Some spots of rust. Some scratches. Some spots of grime. 2. Broken! Unfortunately, this one did not arrive in one piece on the post. I would strongly recommend NOT using Australia Post's boxes, as they are flimsy at best. The two pieces sit together nicely though, a simpe glue job will leave a shelf example that looks good. There are a few little flakes from the join. Otherwise just a bit of glaze wear. The break is right in the middle, horizontally through the upper badge. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 50
