Near Mint (9). Superb example. Glaze flake on the back lip. Two other pinprick marks on the lip. Wire isn't original but has the correct stopper added to it. A flake and a very short glaze hairline or two around the stopper holes on the side of the top. A superfine 25 mm hairline at the heel that goes a short way under the base. A small glaze flake or kiln mark on the left shoulder. A little short black scuff under the print. Print is light but clear. Really working to find faults with this bottle, it is just a brilliant example. Estimate: $150-250
