1. Very Good. Three marks perfectly evenly placed around the base make us think that this has been polished. These marks have a rusty appearance to them. May have been lightly oiled internally. Right shoulder and side has some dullness and a patch of scuffed scratches. Similar dull spot to left side and another patch of scuffs and scratches to the rear body. Some light haze. A few light scuffs and scratches to be found. Plenty of detailed whittle to the glass and embossing is nice, this is a premium example of one of these. 2. Very Good. Polished. 10 x 5 mm mark on inner lip looks like a bruise, but the folds in the glass and numerous airbubbles suggest this is a manufacturing mark. Upper rear body has some shallow pitted scratches. Several deep wear spots around the base heel, like small chips in the glass of varying sizes, probably occurred during the polishing process. A few short, deep scratches to the front neck. Some other light scuffs and scratches throughout. The embossing is nice with only minor marks. Looks nice in this deep amethyst colouration. 3. Very Good. Light milky haze internally. Some scratches scattered around, but not in great numbers. A little bit of surface rust in spots. Couple of tiny flakes to the embossing, this is otherwise great and quite heavy. Longmore's sauces are quite a bit harder to get than the White Crow versions. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
