1. Very Good. Clear at the base, looks to have a purple tinge to the top though? Odd looking shallow nibbled flake over about 5 x 5 mm to rear shoulder. Some very light inner dullness or haze in places. Burst bubble near the EL of Melbourne. Small flake to front base edge. Little flake under heel as well. Scuffed section down the front left with other scuffs around the shoulder and a few to the rear as well. Some scratches. Some minor wear to a few of the letters. 2. Excellent. Two very minor glaze flakes to the upper lip. Another tiny nick to front lip edge. Some minor scuffs and scratches. Tiny potters pull under front base heel, minor flake to rear base heel. Texta under base. Common bottle, but a nice example. 3. Very Good. Couple of tiny spots of wear to lip. Some light haze internally or maybe dust, and an insect or two! Some scratches and one or two little scuff marks. A little outer grime. A few of the embossed letters have a little wear, with some nibbles to the outer line near the base. 4. Good. Wear to upper lip, although some of this looks like remnants of a firing issue in the kiln. Impact to lip has a small horseshoe hairline from it. Wear through glaze around the shoulder and to a lesser extent the base edge. Groove near potters stamp from making has glaze wear amongst it. Some spots of wear to the body. Well impressed. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
