Lot 66: The stone of an attractive blue color mottled with grey. The faceted edges all sharp and crisp without any obvious chips. One of the 4 corners of the underside has a small flee bite that you could feel with your nail but cannot see with your eye. The neck appears tall and in its original length. The mouth is even in the way it's drilled with no chips or damage apparent to the neck or mouth. Your nail is not stopped along the edge on the neck. The stopper originally glued to the bottle. Recently separated. There is oxidized glue residue at the top of the bottle around the mouth. There is dirt and snuff in the interior of the bottle and cork residue adhered to the inside of the mouth. The spoon is missing. Very good condition considering age.
