Condition: There is no damage to the glass on either the bottle or stopper. The stopper has however lost the plastic/rubber bung that holds it securely in the bottle neck, and this has been rectified by wrapping sellotape around the stopper. We have tried taking the tape off but the stopper is then very loose in the bottle and could easily be knocked over, so we have put the tape back as can’t think of a better solution! It could perhaps be held in place with blue tack (or similar) once the bottle is on display.
Dimensions:
