Good condition, with a minor flea-bite to the mouth lip (see photo detail). Very minor edge roughness to the cutting (see photo detail) and. A narrow ring of interior haze (see photos). To the bottom and an old burst bubble on the edge of the polished pontil. Which I mention for the sake of accuracy.
