Good. Stunning bottle! The right third of the upper lip has been filled with resin. The flake must have been very shallow, as the outer lip is predominantly fine in this area, just a couple of little dips. This filling goes across the 7 mm width of the upper lip over a length of about 27 mm. Maybe some really fine inner haze, this may be just dirt. Small discoloured scratch to mid rear. Rear base edge has a tiny impact mark, from this is a bruise over about 20 x 8 mm under the base, there is a small fracture up from this about 8 mm along the base edge before curving up about 10 mm near the left base. A few spots of grime. Maybe a fine scratch or two. A really beautiful looking bottle which is rare. Grade: 6 Estimate: $300 - 400
