Good. There was a chip at the front shoulder, looks like it may have been over 20-30 mm. This has been repaired, with the paint blended in down to the top of the badge and up the neck about half way - the repair does not cover this extent. It blends in quite well. There has also been a lacquer applied, possibly a spray type lacquer to help, this has left a bit of a coarse feel in places. A few glaze flakes around the shoulder have been lessened in effect by the lacquer. The original lip is really good with no damage. One little flake to base edge. Some scratches and minor marks. A solid example of this lovely, sought after bottle. Grade: 6 Estimate: $300 - 500
