From left to right: This tall one has W.T.Co and C under the base. Has a minor nibbled spot to upper seam and some minor making annealing marks. Next is an example which is rolled in towards the bowl. This has a seam going up the narrow part of the bowl. There is a small impact flake to the upper, outer rim. Tiny nick on opposite rim, otherwise just minor marks. Next is a very similar looking eye bath, except there is no seam to the bowl. This has some very crude marks to the outer part of the bowl, lumps of glass and the like which are from making. There is some stain on the inner upper bowl. The next example is quite dark in colour. Some of the sharp seams have some nicks and nibbles giving it a rough feel, these are all minor. The next one has a pedestal base, then a bowl and then the eye bath bowl, quite an unusual shape. This is quite heavy too. This has some inner dirt or stain. A couple of small spots of wear. There are some spots of grime too. The last one has the bowl and then the eye bath with no stem or pedestal base. The eye section is irregular to more suitably fit the contour of the eye socket. There are a couple of tiny nicks to the upper rim. Some grime and minor marks. A nice set of eye baths, we have several on offer in this auction. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
