1. Excellent. Little lip nick. Either a scratch or a fine hairline to the left shoulder. Small pottery blowout below this. Little impact type horseshoe surface flake under base edge. Some scuffs to the glaze. A later one, has a slightly indented, glazed over base. 2. Mint. Not sure how old this one is, but not very would be my first answer. Tiny flake under base is likely a pottery pull. Print almost looks overglaze, in fact on close inspection, I think it is! A few scratches to the highly shiny glaze. 3. Near Mint. Note the different spelling of Whisky/whiskey on this one compared to number one, maybe they were made for different international markets? Little pottery blowout at front left base edge. Some deep gouge marks under base and a chip are all glazed over from making. A nice group of jugs. Grade: N/A Estimate: $$100.00 - $150.00
