Excellent. Really shallow flake to outer lip. On inspection it is apparent that this has been polished, I would not have known initially. There are four spots around the bottle where there is a dark patch, this is the oxide where the lugs have been holding the bottle into place. Very light haze. Couple of scratches to rear body. Has obviously only been tumbled with polishing compound and not cutting compound, all the detail still remains on this one. Lovely, ornate bottle, these French bottles are Australian found, in fact it would not surprise me if this was Australian made as well. Grade: 8 Estimate: $50 - 75
