N/A. (N/A). 1. Broken. Was complete when posted. Now sit nicely together, but can be separated! When posting items, please people, don't try and save money by cramming as many bottles into as small a box as possible with little to no padding between the bottles, it will invariably result in issues like this! As seen, it still looks OK and can be glued back together. To the right there are two small holes, these little pieces of pottery are still with this item, along with lots of tiny pieces and so probably will still leave a bit of a gap, wouldn't be much filler required though. Some cracks. Chip to base. Lip flake. Good one to practice reparing. 2. Good. 15 x 14 mm filled chip near rear base edge, above this is a larger 28 x 18 mm filled chip. Filled with "bog" and left as is, not coloured or anything. Scratched wear to the glaze around these marks and up higher from where the bog was sanded flat. Scratch across badge. Crazing throughout. Has an all over slightly smoky discolouration, has probably been in a hot environment. Neck glaze has a greenish tinge, possibly due to the smoky discolouration? Either way, looks different to the normal examples. Estimate: $15-30
