1. Very Good. Small flake to inner lip. Wear to lip ring with a nick or two. Nick to upper neck. Couple of little impact nicks around base region. Scuffs and scratches throughout. Kangaroo has a small open bubble under it, has been there since made as this is sandblasted in the bottom of the burst part as well. 2. Fair. Grime to upper lip. Inner dirt. Fisheye to front shoulder. A few short deep scratches. Fine scuffs and scratches otherwise but nothing too visually displeasing. Great print on this one, would have been a beauty, but it has one further issue. There is a crack to the right side. Hard to see due to the colour of the glass, this is visible over about 100 mm, but may be a bit longer as each end goes into darker coloured glass that is difficult to see through at all. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
