All have expected surface wear as shown but are otherwise intact and in excellent overall condition with nice weathering film and areas of iridescence. Jar with spikes has pontil mark on underside of base. A pontil scar or mark indicates that a vessel was free-blown, while the absence of such a mark suggests that the work was either mold-blown or that the mark was intentionally smoothed away or wore away over time.
