1. Fair. May be better but there is repainting all over the back. Looking inside can see a hairline/crack near the back base edge but bottle in there generally looks solid. Perhaps chips and hairlines or the like to the back have been covered over. Some stain throughout. Fleabites to the lip. Hairline through the right side of the stamp. Solid one for the shelf. 2. Restored. Hard to be sure but looks like the whole top has been rebuilt. Some repaired chips to the base edge. Really deep stamp and very unusual glaze. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
