Martell Vs Cognac Bottle Appraisal

Martell VS Cognac Bottle

This item is a bottle of Martell VS Cognac. The bottle is made of clear glass, allowing the amber-brown hue of the cognac to be visible. It features a classic cognac bottle shape with a wider base that tapers into a slender neck. The label, primarily off-white or cream colored, is affixed to the front of the bottle and displays the brand name "MARTELL" prominently in a dark, possibly green or black, band at the top. Below this, there is a coat of arms or shield motif, and the words "J. & F. Martell" and "COGNAC" are clearly visible. At the very bottom of the main label, the phrase "FINE COGNAC" appears. Near the shoulder of the bottle, there is a round, golden seal or medallion with "VS" (Very Special) indicating the age classification of the cognac. The bottle is sealed with a dark, likely black, screw cap or cork covered by a foil wrap, which shows some minor creasing, suggesting it may have been handled. The glass itself appears to be in good condition with no visible chips or cracks. The liquid level inside the bottle is high, indicating it is full or very nearly full. The overall aesthetic suggests a traditional, established brand of cognac. There are no obvious signs of significant wear or damage beyond typical shelf wear that might be expected on an older bottle.
