N/A. (N/A). 1. Fair. Large crack down from the lip and then curving in two directions over the shoulder. Very odd finish, looks like a pottery was making a replica of some early British pottery? Some rust stain up on one edge. Hard to know what is damage and what is just the way it was made. 2. Fair. Good but it is heavily crazed with hairlines all around, too many to detail each one! Of the hairlines around the rim two or three can be felt with a fingernail so those parts are proper cracks really. Lots of stain. Really interesting glaze. Looks good as an old rustic piece of pottery. 3. Good. Chips to the lip of 13 x 8 and 8 x 5 mm. Shallower 7 x 3 mm chip further around the rim. A couple of other glaze nibbles as well. Crudely applied glaze with lots of imperfections, particularly in the upper yellow band. Some stain inside and scratches. Bit of dirt and grime. Fine discoloured curved hairline over the base edge of about 20 mm. Looks an early piece of pottery. 4. Good. Lots of little chips and nibbles all around the lip. Stained. Some crazing. 5. VG. Crazing. Discolouration. The rim has 3 or 4 short darkened hairlines. Little bit of wear on the rim as well. Interesting piece of pottery. Estimate: $40-80
