Very Good. (7.1). Polished. Oiled internally, still looks a little dull. On the Sydney side around the shoulder region are two vertical surface fractures over 14 mm each. A couple of horizontal examples here too are shorter, these are all like annealing marks and don't go far at all into the glass. A few fisheyes. Scuffs and scratches to be found. Tiny flake to lip edge. Small open bubble to body. This has the original stopper. Quite hard to get, this is only the second one we have sold.. Estimate: $100-150
