Condition Remarks
(a) The cork stopper is unremovable; (b) label on container is torn on bottom half, causing some words to be illegible or missing; beneath the bottom of the label it appears as though a second label may have been adhered at some point because there is paper residue on the surface of the glass; there is also a large stain on the bottom half of the label; the glue has deteriorated such that the label is detached and glue residue can be seen on the glass.
