Measurements:  5 3/4" W x 3 7/8" D x 7 3/4" H 1.5 lbs Condition:  Excellent antique condition. Appears well cared for. Was clearly used at one time as there is dark sediment at the bottom of bottle and the cork in lid is dark in color. Silver overlay is in good condition and may have been polished in recent years, showing some patina, whereas lid and collar have more patina. Glass shows no sign of damage, no cracks and no breaks, but some small scratches near bottom (see photo.) Underside of bottle shows repetitive wear over many years. The piece is a firm weight and has no wobble. The lid closes firmly and the hinge is in great condition No other noticed blemishes or damage. Normal wear for age. Please see all photos.
