There are a few minor nibbles/chips to the angles down the sides of the bottle. A few of the facet junctions of the bottle have tiny nibbles or a little worn. No visible damage to the neck. Overall condition is otherwise good. The box is in generally good order with some very minor scuff marks, conducive with age. However there is an old hand written label stuck to the base of the case which reads "Scent Bottle No. 205 in catalog Christie July 9. 1968."
