Very Good. Wear through the glaze round most of the upper lip, with one 3 x 3 mm flake on the inner lip. The right shoulder edge has a 9 x 2 mm flake. All the way around for about 1 cm below the sharp shoulder edge there is some heavy scuffing and wear to the glaze surface. Lighter scuffs and scratches to the glaze across the body, there is one heavier scratch below and on the swan, about 25 mm long, with a 20 mm long scratch going down from this. Another band of heavy wear and scuffing to the glaze around the base edge. A good soak and clean will improved this bottle. The stopper is in great shape, adding considerable value to this bottle. Overall, a great piece! Grade: 7.05 Estimate: $350 - 400
