N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Some grime and fine wear to upper lip. Small glaze flake to outer lip edge. Shallow glaze flake to upper lip. Couple of really small flakes to base edge. Some discoloured glaze wear, scuffs and scratches scattered around, heaviest to upper body region. Line around upper body is unglaze between the tan and white body section, this is from making. Unusual pottery, looks similar to those ginger beers with CAP potters marks. 2. Fair. Has a cork in place. 15 x 15 mm reasonably shallow chip to outer left lip. Small flake to right lip. About a 170 mm discoloured crack down the left. 40 mm dark, scuffed streak up from front base edge. Spotty dark discolouration throughout, possibly from making. 3. VG. 7 x 7 mm flake to rear lip and a 7 x 5 mm flake to front lip have been repaired, some shallow upper lip flaking is also repaired, a great job, not sure if some inner lip work has been done as well or not as it is blended in very well. Minor flake to right heel. A bit of grime which should clean off. Quite a heavy bottle, this is quite literally a solid example. Estimate: $50-100
