Good. The pictorial side is very nice with a corking ding and horseshoe fracture to the lip of 11 mm across the top and 7 mm down each side. Glaze misses near the front base and some dark scrapes to the shoulder and neck. The writing side has a 7 x 5 mm chip to the lip with a 50 mm crack running down from this. Parallel to that is a dark crack/hairline of 65 mm and running off these are other finer hairlines of 50 mm, 55 mm and 40 mm. This is a scarce and desirable bottle that is solid and displays well. Grade: 6 Estimate: $150 - 200
