Very Good. (7.4). Spout comes off freely to reveal a damage free lip. Some grime which will soak off. Wide line of scuffed scratches around the mid neck where the spout clamp has rubbed over the years. 3 mm pitted scratch to left shoulder. 4 x 2 mm fisheye to front shoulder. Tiny surface flake to mid rear. 4 x 4 mm nibbled impact flake to lower right body. 5 x 2 mm flake to lower left near the pedestal base. 3 x 2 mm shallow bruise to mid rear. Really little flake to front right pedestal base edge. Typical usage wear to the heel. Some fisheyes scattered around. Typical scratches around the body from a bottle that has seen some use over the years. The wheel cut design has been highlighted in white to make it really stand out on the dark green glass, a superb looking and very rare piece. With the described marks all being small in size and minor, this remains a great example. Only the second we have sold with the previous example selling in Auction 51. Estimate: $1000-1500
