Very Good. I asked a few knowledgeable collectors whether they had ever seen two sizes of these, and they couldn't recall having done so? I think this larger one is extremely hard to get, without being 100% sure? Polished. Some annealing marks to inner lip. Minor shallow upper lip flake. Some light stain in places. Thin open bubble to inner body. A few little surface nicks to be found. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. The S is reversed in Flowers. Interesting bottle in this larger size, the smaller one is also on offer in this auction. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $100 - 150
