Very Good. Polished. Superb professional cleaning job on this one with almost perfect detail through the embossing. The lip has clearly been very slightly re-shaped and smoothed over. A little bit of pitting and small marks around the bottle. A couple of little pinpricks to the lip. Inner chamber has some pitting. Nice example of a bottle that is very hard to get in decent condition. Grade: 7.55 Estimate: $100 - 150
