Excellent. Two side by side shallow body chips just below the K in the trade mark, total of the chips is about 5 x 4 mm. Some scuffs and light wear. The most notable thing is that the NE of Newing at the shoulder is pressed in! Clearly this has been a bit soft when removed from the mould and the glassmaker has pushed it in quite noticeably. It's not a later deformity, clearly as made and quite interesting. Also the stopper is a beauty with the large embossed O.K. Grade: 8.1 Estimate: $75 - 100
