1. Very Good. Fine nibbles to inner front lip has a bruise coming down from it over about 10 x 4 mm. Light dullness in places. Some nibbles to seam near base edge. Little flake to outer lip crown. Scuffs and scratches. A bit of wear to the embossing. Nice piece in this Hobart variety. 2. Good. Tiny inner lip flake. Some inner stain. Some nibbles to seam near base edge. A few fisheyes and impact marks scattered around. Some scuffs and scratches. A bit of wear to the embossing. 11 mm fracture on a similar angle to the right wing of the phoenix was nearly missed for this reason, it is well disguised. 3. Very Good. There is a small little flake to the front upper lip. Stained throughout. Spot of wear to lower front lip. A few short deep scratches in a pacth near left base edge. Some other scuffs and scratches. A few little fisheyes and impact marks. Nice embossing, a few nicks and one or two little flakes as well. This seems to be the first of this variety that we have sold? I can't quite pick the colour either, it is not exactly clear, seems to have a really light ice blue colour to it? 4. Very Good. Couple of tiny impacts to outer lip. Some grime. Scuffed scratches down the right side. Some other scratches and the odd scuff mark. A few tiny fisheyes and impact marks. Nice embossing has some minor marks and the odd little flake or two. Some very light haze. This is a rare bottle. 5. Very Good. Some light inner stain, a bit of dust and grime as well. Tiny fracture to left mid rear looks like a small annealing mark. Some scuffed scratches down the left side. A few other scratches here and there. Crude folds in the glass from making. A few little impact marks. Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
