Fair. Repaired. We saw this bottle prior to repair, it had some cracks. This is one complete bottle, not fully restored in any way. Lip is fine with minor marks. Lower front lip has a short fine hairline. Just under the front lip a hairline starts which curves down the right shoulder and this went down to the base as well. The tan section of this has been touched up but it is still evident. When it reaches the white part the crack has been well covered over with the right side of the bottle having been painted over. 27 x 18 mm chip to front left base edge has been filled and partly painted over, this is still evident. Flake to front right base edge. Right base edge has a partly filled flake chip. Some dark speckled stain to rear and a rust spot or two. Through the badge is a hairline, this also went above the badge, but has been touched up and painted over in this section as well, stopping before the tan neck. Glaze flake or two. A really good example, being a complete bottle this is a far better example than one that has had the top stuck back on. Grade: 5.6 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
