Excellent. What a sensational bottle! Very rare and stunning to look at. The rubber on the stopper has stuck in place and the metal wires are similarly "rusted on". Out of one of the wire holes on one side is a very fine 7 mm hairline. On the underside of the front neck is a fine hairline of around 40 mm - really this is just in the surface of the glaze. Lower down the neck are some lines in the glaze from manufacture. The front shoulder has a series of little nibbles and flakes but nothing too major. The print is superb. There are a few minor scratches and marks around the surface. Great opportunity to add a top bottle to your collection. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
