1. Very Good. There is a little impact glaze flake to mid front shoulder. From this is a hairline in the glaze going up about 20 mm, to the right about 30 mm, and to the left over about 50 mm. These are very fine, almost simply crazing. There is other crazing around the neck as well. Around the base though is some discoloured crazing and/or very fine hairlines. These should clean up with a good soak. Just a pinprick or two around the lip. Nice bottle. (7.8). 2. Poor. Crack around the front of the bottle curved over 140 mm. Some glaze chips and wear around the shoulder. A little wear and some light marks elsewhere. (3.0). 3. Fair. Has a deeper 10 x 10 mm chip to the back top. Pretty extensive glaze chipping and flaking around the rest of the top. All around the shoulder and most of the back has discoloured hairlines and crazing. Some fine hairlines to the front as well. A big patch of rust on the back and some staining elsewhere. Glaze has a "dull" finish. This one might come up ok with a bit of work. (4.8). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
