1. Good. Couple of small pottery blow outs to the front. Just right of the badge at the front is a small glaze flake. Some fine discoloured scratches to the lower left. A few fine rust stains to the right. Under the front base just to the left is a large flake over about 40 x 15 mm and up to 3 mm deep, this can be seen when the bottle is sitting on the table. A lovely looking bottle, very rare in this style with the dark brown top on it. 2. Good. Some fine upper lip wear in a very thin band. 15 x 11 mm chip to front right upper body. Lump to mid base from making sticks out so that the bottle will not stand flat on a table, there are a couple of chips from this. Some crazing throughout. A bit of discolouration. One or two glaze nicks to be found. A great pair of Davis variations that you do not see often. This is not an internal thread this time. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
