Very Good. Long open bubble on inner rear neck has a little dirt in it. 13 x 8 mm shallow chip under base edge at the rear left. Small nibbled flake chip at front base edge. Some little nibbled flakes to the right base edge. Slightly dull appearance with a fine dusty inner haze, some of this may wash out. Next to the lion is a streak that looks like a flake, this is in fact a lump of glass from making. Another one can be seen to the rear. Nice embossing, the trade mark is greatly detailed. There is high point fine wear to this. Some scattered fine scratches and scuffs. Lovely colour. A few little flakes to the embossing around the base. A great bottle which is rare.
