Excellent. Make no mistake this is quite a rare bottle in this small size, far more difficult to get than the Full or Three-quarter size examples. Very crude bottle. A little dull and some wear to be seen. Loads of bubbles through the glass and lots of imperfections in the glass as well. Tiny 2 x 2 mm flake to the front shoulder. Surface crazing throughout, possibly has been acid dipped? Some scratches over the surface. Very heavy embossing. Grade: 8 Estimate: $400 - 600
