N/A. (N/A). 1. Repaired. The top has been stuck on from the bottom of the lip. I believe this is the correct lip though, so it looks the part. There is a crack from the join on the left which goes right down the bottle encroaching just on the left side of the badge, this crack is wide in places. This comes from an inpact glaze flake near the base edge, which has a couple of other hairlines from it as well. There is a hairline to the rear neck. Small glaze flake to lower rear body. A bit of grime. The ink stamp looks to have failed with glaze not adhering properly to the ink, giving it an almost impressed look. A large bottle, this looks quite impressive on the shelf. 2. Very Good. A little wear to upper lip with a tiny hairline. The lip has been made on an angle, this is quite crude! Some discoloured spiral hairlines down the neck. A few discoloured hairlines up from the base. Crazing throughout. The aforementioned hairlines are from making, but being a bit discoloured we needed to mention them separately. Little scrape to rear base edge from making. A little discolouration in places.. Estimate: $40-60
