Good (6.7). Right around the very base edge is a crack, it does not quite join so is not the base glued in like I originally thought! The crack is wide in places, one section looks like it has been filled a little. This could be the way it was made, but is there. Some crazing. A bit of grime. What a fabulously colourful and detailed bottle. Estimate: $50-75
