I dont need to bang on about how RARE this bottle is...... but what I will bang on about is the condition it is in.... its absolute MINT ...the applied string lip is beautiful with no damage at all. The body of course has scuff marks around it but no more than you would expect...as well as the base rim ..it too shows signs of use.  The bottle is freeblown with the usual kickup pontil and its rough too... the neck is off at a slight angle to the body as you would expect with the string lip of uneven shape and the very top of the mouth being uneven from being hand made. The bottle has NO dings, spider cracks , chips, nibbles, or restoration ...its an absolute BELTA ...deep OLIVE Green colour with inclusions and bubbles.  This bottle has NEVER been on Ebay before and is fresh to the open market...came from a large country house deceased estate earlier this year ...I would say it has NEVER been in the ground nor the sea... its Not a dug bottle... ...why not Treat yourself for Christmas . On a couple of the photographs it is shown next to a Georgian Bell bowl wine glass just to give you an idea of its size.... the wine glass is also in auction this week which came from the same home.    The Onion is 4.5inch tall x 4inch body dia... it weighs approx.... 297grams.     A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY CUSTOMERS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR......Please be aware there may be delays in the shipping - postal times during the festive period.
