Very Good. The original marked spout freely comes off to reveal a nice lip. Some light inner haze. Left neck just below the metal spout has a couple of nibbled surface flakes, there is a deep nibbled scratch below this. A few fisheyes to front shoulder. Some impact surface flakes to the ribs, these are all quite small. Fine bruise to right base edge. Some other fisheyes scattered around. Scuffs and scratches typical for syphons to be found, heaviest to the lower, wider body. A nice looking bottle, not as heavily used as these often are. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $75 - 100
