1. Good. Small, shallow flake to upper front lip. A few tiny glaze flakes to shoulder. Fine hairline from bottom of left lip down to close to the left base edge. Hairline down most of the front body through the badge, this is a bit discoloured in places. Little glaze flake near rear base edge. Some fine scratches. 2. Fair. Some light wear to upper lip. Couple of fine hairlines down the lip. Small chip to left shoulder, near this is an impact through the glaze with a horseshoe hairline from it. Crack starts above right shoulder and goes down across the front through the badge to the front left base edge. In the middle this crack is wide and the bottle sounds tinny in this region. Another crack across the upper badge region. Y shaped hairline up the rear. Tiny flake or two to base edge. 3. Repaired. The original top has been broken off at some stage and reglued, the join is under the blob top. Fine discoloured hairline around the mid front body. Some stain. Discoloured glaze wear. Some fine crazing. Kiln kiss to left upper body. Small glaze flake or two. 4. Poor. The glaze is flaked off possibly more of this bottle than has been retained! The upper right is the heaviest section of glaze flaking, but it is spotty throughout. Kiln kiss or two. Some discolouration. Texta under base. Some scratches. Grade: N/A Estimate: $25 - 40
