Fair. A little grime scattered around. Lip is fine. Wire and bail is rusty. Stopper has a little chip and is from a different company, but has been in place for a while. Spotty inner stain. Little surface flake to front upper body amongst some scratches. Other scratches scattered around. Shallow body chip to lower right side. Below this it gets a little nasty! Bruise near right base edge. A crack goes across the front base over about 60 mm, this is angled through the glass so that from the underside of the bottle it looks like there is a fracture over about 25 x 25 mm. The crack continues under the base to the other side about another 60 mm. Being where it is most of it is not noticeable, that part that can be seen from the front is not a huge deterrent. A rare bottle, an example until a better one comes along. Grade: 5.5 Estimate: $50 - 75
