Near Mint. Small mark on the side lip is definitely a kiln kiss, you can see how the glaze has been pushed down in one section. Another tiny kiln mark on the side body. Numerous indents and marks from making. The stamp is hard to read, partly due to a curved indent from making and partly from the very thickly applied glaze. Brilliant colour and a very unusual tall style. Great bottle. Grade: 9.1 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
