Excellent. What a lovely design. Some spots of wear to inner lip, this would be from where the stopper would rub. Some fine inner grime and dust which should wash out. Scrape mark to lower part of cut neck design at the front. Usage wear and scratches under the base. Scratches to the body. Gold highlight amongst the etched writing has faded somewhat but is still seen in places. A lovely and early piece. Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $50 - 75
