1. Very Good. Polished. Nibbles right around the sharp outer edge of the upper lip, a couple of small chips amongst these. Crude crazed lines and mould marks internally from making. Left and rear near base has some patches of scratches. Slightly hazy internally. 2. Fair. Possibly polished. Seems to have some type of clear coating applied over the surface. Large 27 x 17 mm horseshoe type crack to left thread that is discoloured over parts. Right shoulder has a 15 x 12 mm bruise that is also partly discoloured. Some pitted scratches, mainly to the rear. Some nibbles and flakes around the upper lip edge. Couple of little splits to the lip. Hundreds of seed bubbles. Slight hazy appearance, may be due to the bubbles. Right thread has had a chip that has been filled with resin, this is above the bruise, the bruise may in fact have been a filled chip, and the coating over the glass may be remnants from this resin? 3. Very Good. Upper lip is ground from manufacture, there are some chips and flakes coming down from this. Tiny impact mark to front above Pure. Fisheye to left just behind seam line. Some minor scuffs and scratches and the odd tiny rust spot. Internally there is some surface dirt, mainly around the base area. Interestingly, the mould seems to have been re-used from a larger jar, the B from Barnes is not on this jar. Grade: N/A Estimate: $10 - 20
