1. Fair. Would be nice but has a hairline crack (fingernail doesn't really catch on it at any place) extending 120 mm up the side to the bottom of the blob top then heading back down the front to the right of the print another 80 mm. Lip has some nibbles just through the glaze. A couple of spots of discolouration and glaze is a bit dull. 2. Good. Solid bottle with a 50 mm hairline at the front up from the base (this hairline also continues about 20 mm under the base). Body is a bit discoloured and there is a wide scrape mark to the left side. General scuffs and scratches to the glaze. This one should clean up pretty well. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
