Excellent. First we've had through of this type with just "The King" under the crown. Crazing throughout. Heel has an indent from making with some likely later shallow chipping to its edge over about 10 mm. Shallow 15 x 7 mm under base chip looks to have been there from making. A slight bit of wear on the lip. Lovely looking bottle. An unusual and crude example. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $150 - 200
