1. Good. Repaired. Looks like a fairly large chip repaired at the left base edge. Overpainting goes over about 30 x 50 mm and around 20 mm under the base. Also a thin overpainted section of about 13 mm along the front top lip but this looks to be very shallow. Rest of the bottle looks fantastic with just some light marks and a kiln mark or two. Good looking example. 2. Repaired. Quite an exquisite repair where the entire top has been replaced at the shoulder. Very neat finish without even much in the way of overpainting. The glue line is quite clear inside the bottle however. Leaves a line of glaze wear or nibbles at the lower shoulder. Shallow 9 x 2 mm chip along the left top. Very tight 65 mm hairline down the left side mid body. A couple of flakes and minor marks around the base edge. Great print. Displays beautifully! Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 70
