Excellent. 2 x 2 mm tiny flake to upper lip. Another tinier one near this. Still retains the original rubber washer in the neck. A few small and fine fisheyes can be seen scattered around on close inspection. Some fine scuffs and scratches can be found as well. Some crude folds in the glass around the lip, and some spots around the base also from manufacture. One of the best examples we have seen, these are invariably polished, and so to find one in this superb, unpolished condition is indeed a rarity! Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $300 - 400
