Excellent. Firing crack inside the neck. Bit of grime and stain on the surface. Some making marks near the stamp. Left base edge has two marks of 5 x 4 and 6 x 4 mm but they look to be glazed. 6 x 3 mm chip on the heel and a flake around from this. Powder in the impressed stamp to highlight. Just a superb example of this very early bottle from the famous Rowlands (& Lewis) company. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $400 - 600
