A few small chips around the ground lip. One on the side of the lip looks to be from making as it is a smooth indent. Big print on this one. Haze and some scratches around. Good fitting lid. 5. Good. Unusual Australian jar, also unusual that it has been dug or dived and not just out of a shed or similar. Swirled opalescent stain, looks to be pretty much just surface so would clean up well if desired. Fitting lid with a clear glass insert. 6. VG. Light scratches and wear all around. Bit of dust and grime. Thought there was a bigger chip on the back lip but there is a dip there from manufacture with a 2 or 3 mm chip or rough spot on the edge of it. Some other fleabites around. 7. VG. Chips on top of the lip all around. Separate to these there is also flaking all around down the outer and inner lip. Just a pale amethyst. There is a slight bit of haze. Minor scuffs and marks. Lid is obviously not original but fits very well. Nice looking jar. 8. VG. Stained throughout but only surface. Just some general scuffs and scratches. Has had baby oil inside. Shoulder embossing is a bit weak. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $100-200
