1. Excellent. This is either the largest sample black I have ever seen, or the smallest standard black I have ever seen, either way, it is a very odd size. Nibbled scratch to base heel. Discoloured scuff mark to base edge, this is not deep. Some minor scratches and grime. 2. Very Good. A few little nibbles to lip and some annealing type marks. A few spots of wear. Scuffs and scratches scattered throughout. Nice dumpy shaped example. 3. Excellent. Lip and inner neck have some crude making marks. One or two tiny surface nicks. Some minor scratches and the odd little mark. More of an olive amber colour this one. 4. Very Good. This is more of a pure green colour. Stained throughout. Long streak in glass looks initially like a crack, but is a making mark made up of tiny airbubbles. Some scratches and minor marks. A little rust in places. 5. Very Good. 10 x 3 mm sliver flake to upper left lip. Nibbled impact to upper rear lip. Small flake to outer lip. Small burst bubble to front base heel. Looks to have some inner dirt. Some scratches and dust. A lovely looking piece of black glass. A great selection of small blacks. Grade: N/A Estimate: $60 - 80
