Very Good. Wear through glaze around the top of the upper lip across about the front half. 5 x 5 mm glaze flake to upper rear lip. Diagonal glaze hairline to front lip continues down the left shoulder to the rear shoulder edge. Another fine glaze hairline starts at right base edge, curves up and around the bottle through the bottom of the badge where it stops. These are both very fine and hard to see, very minor marks really. Little nibbled flake type scratch to left shoulder edge. Tiny glaze nick or two. Some fine discolouration. A little fine wear in places. Some fine scratches. A solid example of a sought after bottle. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $400 - 500
