Good. Polished. Smooth surfaces all over with some minor marks remaining. Slightly rounded but strong embossing. Now, the lip has been repaired nearly all the way around. At the front the damage has gone down about 7 mm and at the back about 4 mm. There is one section of the lip on the right side that looks to be original height for about a 10 mm stretch. The resin used to fill these chips has yellowed with age and some of the coating can be seen on the rest of the top. While the extent of the original chips are pretty clear the black light really shows them up well. A rare bottle that would be well worth getting these old repairs removed and a better job done. Grade: 6 Estimate: $200 - 300
