Overall wear, marks and scratches, consistent with age and use. Some blooming to the shoulders of the bottles. Significant wear to the base. Small imperfections near the rim (manufacturing, not damage). Surface dust and dirt throughout. No signs of restoration, damage or cracks. The line on the neck of HC is a stretch groove done in the manufacturing process. Small chip to the underside of the string rim on HC. Quite a bit of old wine residue on the inner surface of TC. The line around the neck of the TC bottle is a thread of glass left from when the string rim was formed, it is not a crack or a repair.
