Good. Stunning bottle from the front, displays perfectly, but does have a couple of issues. On the right side to the rear is a crack extending from under the lip to half way down the botte, about 112 mm. This cannot be seen from the front. At the rear base is an impact type chip and fracture over about 5 x 10 mm. The front right base has a dent that has been glazed over from manufacture. This is about 15 x 15 mm. There are some scuffs and scratches to the glaze and a couple of dull spots. The lip is perfect on this one, with ony tiny glaze miss from the making process. This is a very rare bottle which looks superb on display! Grade: 6.4 Estimate: $400 - 500
