Condition

Notes

Remarks: While the bottle remains in good condition, it has been noted by the current Curatorial Technician that there are old accretions of oil (?) (or some dark residue, with the scent of turpentine) in the bottom on the bottle, with small dead bugs and dirt/dust accumulated in the sticky residue; there are also two broken pieces of cork stuck in the bottle which have proven impossible to remove.

Notes

Remarks: Dull spots on surface of bottle throughout.
