1. Good. The back lip has a chipped area over about 25 x 5 mm. The front lip has a shallow 10 x 5 mm chip and there are nibbles and flakes between these two obvious chips. Glaze wear around the shoulder. Some scratches and scuffs. Interesting scrape mark to the side from when it was made that also has blobs and splashes of inks that the potter has spilled there. A solid bottle that could use a little work. (6.8). 2. Very Good. There are two chips to the inner lip that have been coloured over with texta: 12 x 3 mm and 5 x 2 mm. There is some sticky substance around the top as well but looks like just needs to be cleaned off, there is no repair to be found. A few other fleabites and the like to the lip. Some discolouration to the glaze. Good looking bottle. (7.0) Grade: N/A Estimate: $$50.00 - $70.00
