1. Repaired. Pieces of the top to midway down the neck have been broken and glued back in to place. A few small hairlines in addition around the top. Rest of the bottle is great with some crazing. The top really needs to be re-done and cleaned up. OK shelf example. (0.0). 2. Good. 9 x 4 mm chip to the top of the back lip. There are six or seven chips around the base edge. A bit of wear and some scuffs and scratches around the body. Ok shelf example. (6.0). 3. Good. A reasonably solid bottle but very scruffy looking. The whole lip is "chewy" with little fractures and marks. Front right neck has a T shaped hairline over 25 x 35 mm. There is crazing and discolouration through all of the bottle. Needs a good soaking clean. (6.2). 4. Fair. The left side lip has a deep 13 x 6 mm chip. It's not immediately obvious but there is a fine hairline curving over the left shoulder and then down the front of the bottle to the base. In total this hairline is around 170 mm. A few other scratches and scuffs to the surface. Bottle displays quite well. (5.9). Grade: 5 Estimate: $60 - 80
