Very Good. This is the first small one we have sold. An extremely busy bottle, some of the writing goes under the base right to the heel! Little lip nibbled flake. A few other lip impacts. Nibbled sliver to the bottom of the left lip. Some annealing marks where the lip is applied. Nibbled flake to front base edge across the K which curves under the base. Some scuffs and scratches, including some across the embossing, but nothing heavy. A few fisheyes, one on the seam line is larger than the rest. A couple of discoloured scuffs. Quite a nice looking bottle, this is generally shiny so better than the usual polished examples. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $75 - 100
