1. Very Good. Some scattered stain. Scuffed scratching to front right shoulder corner with a couple of nicks amongst it. A few deep scratches down the front and then near the front base there are some more deep scuffed scratches. Air bubble to lower left is milky with some fractures to it. A few tiny impact marks. Some other scratches to the body and the odd scuff mark. The larger of two sizes. 2. Good. Some stain, mainly down the inner left. Flake to rear corner in the mid body has an associated bruise over about 16 x 7 mm in total. Right base edge and heel has three small impacted flakes or scratches. Front right corner is dull for some reason. There is a small inclusion to rear near shoulder with a tiny star fracture from it. Surface bubble near this. Tiny inclusion to right side! Well, OK then, not quite so tiny, in fact, quite possibly the biggest inclusion I have seen! Inclusion itself is about 10 x 8 mm which is not that big. However, it has cracks! A crack goes up 36 mm, one goes down 17 mm, one to the left about 22 mm, one to the right is about 14 mm and a few shorter legs as well. A few scuffs and scratches. Relatively shiny and looks good from the front, with the inclusion being a making mark I have not graded it as if it were an aftermarket crack. Grade: N/A Estimate: $100 - 150
