It has Le Pierre's traditional cylindrical form with sloping shoulder and upward tapering neck. Most of these bottles are marked on the stoppers - this stopper is missing. A bit of the cork is still inside. On front is a shield cartouche with a monogram (it looks like GFS). The rest of the bottle has a wheat, leaf and vine motif. I love this design for its simple elegance. The sterling is overlay is thick and in great condition other than tarnish at the top and a small scratch into a vine near the neck. less
