Condition is very good. There is a small smooth nick to the outside edge of the rim which doesn't affect use or seal. No chips or scuffs to the cut glass. No dents or other issues with the silver. The bayonet twist cover works very well and seals fully, the cork is in good order also so it is ready to be used. Minor handling wear only.
