More Information

Condition: Poor. Glass bottle appears to be in good order, no large cracks or chips visible. There is a large chip off the glass stopper, however it is still in working order. The shape of the bottle does not align with the sleeve perfectly - the bottle appears to have flat, polished sides, and the sleeve is cylindrical. The sleeve is stuck around the bottle and cannot be removed.

The sleeve itself is heavily dented, the largest dents concentrated around the base, with many small dents across the surface. The decoration is heavily worn, the hallmarks are heavily worn but are still decipherable. There does not appear to be any splits or signs of repair.
