Usage wear under the base, some impacts and little nicks around here. Crude surface bubbles at the front. Some scratches to be found and a little crate wear to upper embossing at the rear. Nice example of this ornate bottle with the fancy scroll work. 2. Very Good. Remains of ceramic label to rear which says, "Return Daily to R. A. Escott. A few impacts and shallow flakes around the lip. Couple of tiny nicks around base edge, one or two fisheyes as well. Some fine crate wear scattered around in the form of fine scratches and scuffs.
