Very Good. Roughly applied lip is a bit crooked and wonky from making. Small burst bubble to inner rear chamber. Tiny nick to outer front chamber. Some inner dirt that should wash out, looks to have been oiled at some stage but this would not have been necessary. Impact to front left base edge has a little flake and associated 8 x 7 mm bruise, as well as a scuffed scratch over 14 x 2 mm. Lovely embossing, just a small amount of fine high point wear on some of the letters. Scratch to lower right goes across the seam and a letter or two that is slightly flaked. Some light scuffs and scratches. Lovely looking, shiny example of this scarce bottle. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $200 - 250
