N/A. (N/A). 1. First white one is Good. Has long dark scratches that nibble into the glaze up and down all around the body. Some flakes around the base. Shallow chips around the shoulder. 2. Other white one is Good. Has a huge "chip" at the back top but this chip is glazed! Some chipping here to the inner lip but caused by the same making fault, should never have made it out of the pottery! Actual chips and wear around the shoulder and a couple of larger chips at the base edge. 3. Orange one is VG. Also has a big making fault with a lump of extra clay on the back right top and the top has been squeezed in to it is oval shaped. Small chips and wear around the shoulder. Wear around the body. Interesting lot with these couple of bottles that got sent to (and used!) by Crowder despite being obviously defective. Estimate: $30-60
