Very Good. Georges Auguste Escoffier was a famous chef of French cuisine who took his culinary delights to London and was involved in the Ritz and Savoy Hotels. This bottle held Escoffier Sauce Diable a'la Provencale and dates prior to 1915 when the company was sold. Stained and dirty internally, the dirt will wash out. A little surface rust in places. Interesting bottle, I only just realised the neck design is a thread, there would have been a cap over the top of this that would have screwed down onto this neck thread! Great bottle. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $$40.00 - $60.00
