Very Good. Small glaze flake to upper lip at the left rear. Front right upper lip has a small scrape mark that has a very fine hairline coming down from it over about 15 mm, it is hard to tell as it is near impossible to see. Glaze miss to front mid lip, some spots to neck appear to be little glaze misses and a larger one at the right shoulder as well near where it joins the white. Three short scratches through the glaze just above Mackay at the rear. Dark surface scratch to right shoulder. Scrape to right base edge is a making mark. Pinpricks down the right side are crude making marks. Some surface rust and minor discoloured spots. A little glaze wear and scratches in places. A rare bottle, these are highly desirable and do not come up for sale very often at all! Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
