Very Good. A couple of scrapes to the upper lip edge. Some scratches to the external surface which are difficult to detect due to the extremely crude mottled effect to the glass. A few fisheyes, including a couple to the upper part of the embossing. Generally, the embossing is superb with only light marks. Internal milky residue stain down the right side of the bottle. There is an internal line around the glass where the marble has been rolling over the years around the bottle. This is a stunning bottle, made by the Caledonian Glass Works, these are quite a rare and unusual piece, with this being in great condition. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $250 - 300
