Very Good. (7.1). The original stopper is in place, however, the metal wire has rusted off so it is simply taped in place. Where the metal has been under the lip there are remains of rust, at the front lip this rust has popped off taking some glass with it, this flaked area is about 8 x 10 mm, but shallow. Immediately above this, the lower part of the lip has a 10 x 9 mm flat chip. Small burst bubble under the base. A few scratches and minor fisheyes. Scuffed scratch behind the left mid seam goes about 45 mm towards the rear. Slightly scuffed surface scratch to lower rear shoulder. Surface bubble to lower left mid body. A little surface grime which will soak off. An extremely rare bottle in this large quart variety, the first we have sold. Estimate: $1000-1500
