1. Fair. Bottle is extensively chipped and worn around the lip. Deeper section is about 11 x 7 x 2 mm but the rest of the lip is worn in a very even way through the glaze. Handful of very small clay pull type marks under the base. Glaze of the bottle has a slightly dull/worn appearance. There are scratches to be seen and a couple that look like probe marks on the surface of the glaze to the back of the bottle. If you can get the top fixed up you will have a reasonable looking example. (5.8) 2. Repaired. The whole top of the crown of this one has been very roughly repaired. Difficult to see the actual extent of the repair as there is a fair bit of overpainting. The rest of the bottle is really nice with only light marks and a few little glaze flakes to the shoulder and the like. Looks OK from arms length or so but the repair is really quite an amateur one. (N/A) Grade: N/A Estimate: $20 - 30
