Good. Large 25 x up to 11 mm chip at the front right top. Back top has an 8 x 6 mm chip with parts down the outer and inner lip. 5 x 5 mm impact to the shoulder with very fine hairlines in three directions of about 10-20 mm each. Dark scrapes to the shoulder, right side and near the front base. Scratches across the word Ginger. Small chip at the right shoulder and some general scratches and scuffs. All this sounds terrible but most examples around of this bottle are repaired. Here's an as found one that needs a bit of cleaning and a repair to the chip at the front would make this a great example. Grade: 6 Estimate: $300 - 400
