Good. Has been polished, seams are still visible. Some pits and fisheyes are still evident. There is a nibble type chip from the upper lip that has a bruise extending from it, measuring about 14 x 4 mm on the upper lip. This is quite difficult to detect. There is a small chip from the side lip about 1 cm down from the top, this is only 5 x 2 mm and shallow. There is a horseshoe shape surface fracture to the rear heel, about 1 cm across and only part way through the glass. The embossing is slightly rounded, but then unpolished examples are often not that crisp on this bottle. Grade: 6.9 Estimate: $200 - 250
