Fair. Looks mint from the front!

About mid body at the rear another separated crack comes from this crack and goes horizontally over about 90 mm towards the front, the front part is just a fine hairline and barely noticeable. Small potters pull or two to base edge and a few little nicks. A few fine scratches and minor marks. This could easily be displayed as is as it looks fantastic! Rare bottle, and a nice large size too! Grade: 5.3 Estimate: $150 - 250
