Very Good. Polished. Very scarce front on variety this is in fact the same bottle as sold way back in Auction 8, Lot 129 and still the only one we have had through. I've included the original condition report below minus the first line (it was dull and scratched but the very light polish has removed most of the dullness while most of the marks as mentioned below are still noticeable. 8 x 4 mm chip to the inner front lip, shallow 9 x 6 mm bruise to the inner front lip as well. Pit marks and tiny fish eyes around the lip as well. Several fisheyes and pit marks scattered around the body, none appear to be too deep. Unusual variety. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $400 - 600
