Excellent. A few little glaze flakes and spots of wear around the lip. Has a cork in place, this is not the original one though. Sticker to rear neck shows that this was purchased by our vendor at a Wagga Auction in 1981. A bit of grime to the body and a few spots of discolouration. Labels are quite stained but still very legible. A wonderful item in this condition. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $100 - 150
