Condition Report:
Overall in very good condition. Compared to the catalog illustration, glass is a lighter shade of moss green. Glass surfaces present with some very faint surface scratches, only visible upon close inspection and mainly concentrated to the lip of the rim and underside, consistent with age and gentle use. Stopper is lacking its end and presents with some minor flaking to glass surrounding break, not visible when stopper is placed in bottle, as seen in the catalog illustration. When viewed in person, glass presents with fine sea-green inclusions.
