Good. Looks amazing in this deep, natural colour. Small lip nick appears to be a little open bubble. Nibbled flake to shoulder rim on right hand seam line. Upper base ring has a small bruise near the right seam line, below this on the lower ring is a slightly larger bruise. To the rear on the lower ring is a chip. Impact mark to left base edge has a 30 mm fracture from it. Unusual milky fractured bruise under the base. Some very minor dullness and light scratches. By far the heaviest embossed example we have seen, probably the darkest as well. This remains a very nice bottle, even with a few issues. Grade: 6.7 Estimate: $75 - 100
