N/A. (N/A). 1. Poor. Top through the chamber and around the lip has been in a few pieces. The vendor found as many pieces as possible and glued them together years ago, but there remains a chunk of 40 x 20 mm missing to the right lip. Couple of largish chips along the joins as well and a couple of smaller flakes. The glue has yellowed. Looks like three pieces have been glued back in. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Grimy. Tiny surface flake below trade mark. Rare and sought after bottle, will do as a gap filler. 2. Poor. As can be seen, this is broken! Top missing from about the dimples up. 15 mm crack down from this at front. 85 mm crack in an S shape from the right side from the break down into the front above the O of Centurona. Some inner water type stain. 15 x 12 mm deep burst bubble to right rear near base edge. 5 x 3 mm shallow bruise to left of S of St. George. Large bubble to rear below neck groove is partly burst with some dirt in it. Nibble impact to left heel. Extremely rare bottle, I only know of two complete and a couple damaged including this one. Estimate: $50-100
