Excellent. Some minor discolouration to the front right shoulder area and upper body. A bit of grime and residue internally and inside the tube at the rear which is built into this piece. Some glaze scratches. A few nicks under base are likely from making. The stopper has some flakes around the mouthpiece which have been coloured white to roughly disguise them. Couple of coloured chips to the side of the hole on the stem as well. A wonderful inhaler. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $350 - 400
