1. Very Good. Quite hard to get in this slightly later Doulton made version. Why is this graded at very good? There is a lip chip which is glazed over, there is a small flake next to it. There is a large and ugly deep chip to left of potters stamp at base edge. This is glazed over from making as well - how did this leave the factory? Nibbled flakes next to this. Flake to right base edge. Some nibbles to base edge. Some wear to shoulder with a flake or two. Stain to front. Some scratches and minor spots of wear. 2. Good. Early bottle. Wear around lip, some flakes to outer lip as well. Chip to front shoulder across some of the letters. Wear and flakes around the shoulder. Chip under right base heel. Flakes and wear around base. Hairline down the front. Glaze flakes scattered throughout. Wear to glaze. Some discolouration in places. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
