Very Good (7.7). Shallow 7 x 4 mm flake to front upper lip. 4 x 3 mm shallow flake to front right lip. The lower lip has the blue glaze missing around the rear, a great looking making mark. Scratch to upper right body has a tiny glaze nick at the top of it. Small scratch to shoulder above this. 13 x 7 mm chip under the heel below the potters stamp is very likely a potters pull. A few other scratches and minor marks. Great looking bottle and quite a rare bottle I believe! Note that this has a Fleur de lis like symbol in place of the usual JL on the common examples. These rarely come up for sale! EST: $300 - 400
