Excellent. Quite rare to find one of these with the shell on! Lip is near perfect, just one fine surface scuff with a little spot of rust to it. The only marks on the shoulder appear to be glaze misses. The worst I can say about the base edge is that there is a little discolouration in places. Some scratches and discoloured spots to the body. A few more glaze misses to the body as well. A lovely example of a bottle we have never offered for sale before. Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $150 - 200
