Excellent. No damage whatsoever, there are some scratches to be found here and there, mainly around the wider part of the body. Most are reasonably light, there are some shorter scratches which are a bit deeper. There is an odd mould mark around the shoulder and neck, this is a rough line which starts on the body of the bottle and swirls in a spiral pattern around to the lower neck. Some usage wear around where the bottle sits on the table. most unusual piece of history, this is a wonderful piece of black glass. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $300 - 400
