Very Good. (7). Spot of wear not even through the glaze to outer front lip, next to this is a diagonal glaze hairline which actually goes down to the mid body, mostly very hard to see. There is a little impact to the middle of this which has a short hairline from it heading towards the badge. Upper lip has wear which is just through the glaze around most of it, two slightly deeper flakes are about 5 x 3 mm and 6 x 3 mm. One of these is in a dip, which is the way the bottle was made. Couple of minor flakes under the heel are likely potters pulls from making. Fine glaze hairline to lower right up from base edge. Some scratches and scuff marks. A few potters marks to be found. Bit of a dull appearance in places. Couple of short, deep scratches. Solid example of presumably quite a hard bottle to get, this is the first we have sold.. Estimate: $100-150
