1. Very Good. Bottle itself is fine. Small surface flake to rear shoulder. Plenty of grime that will need to be washed off carefully. Some scratches and minor marks. The all important label is missing the left side, maybe 10-20 mm is missing down this side. It is discoloured as well. No doubt that this is the original label on this bottle. (7.5). 2. Excellent. Lip folds and drips. One drip under the lip has a small chip, could be from making but is there. Lovely swirled glass from making. Tiny nick to corner towards base. Hinge moulded, the inner kick up has little black pin prick marks which could be the remains of a pontil? Some fine scratches. A great looking bottle. (8.1). Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
