Condition
Overall in excellent condition. Minor loss at the lip (0.75 in.) that is not visually distracting. Very faint evidence rubbing and minor abrasions on three external edges of the bottle, only visible upon close inspection and common with age and handling. The stopper appears original and perfectly fits into the bottle's lip and shows with no overt signs of chipping or wear. An unusual motif for Marinot, the bottle presents exceptionally well overall.
