Excellent. A little glaze flake to the right lip. A tiny nibble to the hole on the left edge of the top where the wire goes. Around the base edge there is a 6 x 4 mm chip with a firing crack above it for 5 mm. Also at the front base edge there are a few nibbles and chips that also look like clay pulls from manufacture and at the back is another flat clay pull. Some surface scratches and minor glaze discolouration. A really nice example of a scarce bottle. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
