Chips to left base edge and heel. Horseshoe crack under potters stamp to right. Glaze wear and stain throughout, not sure how it has become one colour other than that heat must have been involved. 2. Good. Version to the previous example with a different potters stamp. Small flake to outer right lip. Kiln kiss to rear lip. Some shoulder wear, there are a couple of glaze flakes as well. Making marks around the heel, possibly a couple of little flakes. Kiln kiss type mark to right mid body touching on the print. Some rust stain and heavy dark discolouration throughout, this could be some form of smoke stain? Spots of glaze wear scattered around. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
