Mint. Yes, I have given this that very elusive grading that we don't hand out often, but what an amazing example of a stunning bottle! This can't have been buried. Perfect lip. The shoulder has a few tiny nicks which can barely be felt let alone seen. Couple of fine kiln kisses to shoulder. A few discoloured spots to rear, this is grime with the couple of spots I tried to remove coming off quite easily. Couple of shallow potters pulls under the base from making. A few very fine scratches. Great, distinct print with contrasting blacks and whites. I need to reiterate - this is a fantastic piece! Grade: 9.6 Estimate: $400 - 500
