More Information

The marks to the shoulder visible in the second pictures is a waxy residue, which should be removable with cleaning. There is a large nick to the rim - see pictures for illustration. The broken pontil to the kick base is quite deep - see pictures for illustration. The is very heavy scratching and wear throughout the bottle. There is a large burst bubble the the interior of the glass on one corner. There is a peppering of small burst bubbles on the surface throughout the body, mostly concentrated on the neck. It is difficult to assess the interior of the bottle, owing to the thickness of the glass, it's dark colour, and a large build up of residue on the interior, which does not permit much light through. Please see further images for illustration.
