N/A. (N/A). 1. Good. Lump to right lip is from making. Flake to front left shoulder. Some wear and other flakes as well, these have been painted over at some stage, but it doesn't look like there are any shoulder repairs. The right base edge definitely has a chip repair, possibly a reasonably large chip, the paintwork covers about 50 x 50 mm, the repair is definitely smaller than this though, maybe 23 x 33 mm? Smallish chip at front left base edge below the potters stamp. Small repair to left base edge. Heavy stain down the left, a little elsewhere as well. Some glaze wear in places. 2. Good. Tiny nick or two to upper lip, maybe a really fine glaze hairline as well. Some little spots of wear, a glaze flake or two to the shoulder edge. 24 mm discoloured hairline to upper right rear. Below this is another over about 55 mm towards the lower rear. 20 x 5 mm chip to right base edge. Little flake or two to heel. Small potters blowout to mid rear, this is quite deep. Some little nicks and spots of wear to be found. Looks decent on the shelf, the rear hairlines should clean up. 3. VG. Wear around upper lip and a small flake or two. 20 mm discoloured hairline to front right upper shoulder. Some fine wear to shoulder and a flake or two as well. Black marks to rear shoulder appear to be ink under the glaze from making. Remains of sticker and sticky tape to upper front right. Stained to upper front and right. Badge is smudged in places. A bit of surface glaze wear in places. Some fine crazing. 4. VG. Four smallish glaze flakes around the upper lip. Little glaze flake to left rear shoulder edge. 10 x 4 mm dip at front base edge looks to be from making, but may also be a really shallow flake amongst it. A few little flakes around the heel. Some glaze misses. A bit of discolouration in places. 5. Fair. Really shallow 20 mm mark along upper left lip is a kiln kiss from making. 135 mm hairline down the right, little impact type mark in middle of this. Some wear and little glaze flakes to shoulder. Large 40 x 9 mm chip to the front right base edge and heel. 10 x 8 mm chip under right base edge. Small chip between these two under the heel. Some glaze misses. Some fine scratches. .
