Very Good. Front left corner in upper region has a small nibbled butterfly flake over about 5 x 8 mm. Tiniest of nicks to lip edge. This same corner has two tiny nicks further down, then there is a nibbled impact a bit further down again over only about 3 x 3 mm with a short scratch next to it. Some minor surface grime. A few scuffs and some scratches. A few tiny spots of wear to the embossing. Some spots of inner dirt or grime that should soak out. Lovely looking example in general of this highly desirable bottle. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $1000 - 1500
