Very Good. (7.1). 5 x 10 mm shallow sliver to front left lip has been filled. Looks like around half the upper lip has shallow flaking that has been filled as well, this is not deep by any means. Really minor and short glaze hairline to right lip. Short pitted scratch below this. Couple of very small glaze flakes to lip as well. Lower front right lip has a shallow flake that has also been filled. 13 x 6 mm chip to left rear base edge behind the potters stamp. Shallow flake under left heel is likely a making mark. Minor spot or two of surface rust. Some minor discoloured spotty glaze wear. A decent example of a hard to get bottle. Estimate: $200-250
