Some wear to the shoulder with a really small flake or two. Scuffed scratch down the left. Some other scratches and a bit of wear in places. A bit discoloured, though this looks to be from making. The impression has been highlighted in black. A nice, early bottle. 2. Good. No glaze to upper lip, but this is the way it was made. 80 mm discoloured hairline to left. A few minor discoloured scratches. The second D of Ladd has not struck at all, making this a J O Lad bottle! Unusual one with the Doulton patent potters mark. 3. Good. A few discoloured scratches to upper right and rear body. 45 x 23 mm flake under the base, some of this can be seen when sitting on the table to the right rear base edge, but mostly it is flat and under the base. A bit dull with glaze wear throughout. A really early example, the Stephen Green stamp is an unusual early badge.. Estimate: $80-150
