Overview
Martell 2020 Special Edition: identification and appraisal guide
A good first set of images for Martell 2020 Special Edition connects the complete Cognac bottle or decanter with its marks, wear and original accessories. Pair the full view of the Cognac bottle or decanter with the date wording 2020 so the mark cannot be confused with an accessory.
Identification details
- Maker: Martell
- Product name: Martell 2020 Special Edition
- Category: Cognac or brandy
- Date or decade shown: 2020
- Marks and details to photograph: the brand, expression or grade, bottle size, bottle engraving and edition markings
Include the maker or producer name Martell and the date wording 2020 in the first photo set for Martell 2020 Special Edition. Keep condition notes separate from this name and version check.
Photographs and condition
Follow the complete view with close-ups of front and back labels, closure or stopper, fill level, bottle base, engraving, box and accessories. Pair each close-up with a wider view of the same item.
For the condition review, show fill level, seal, stopper, labels, bottle or decanter and presentation box. Photograph flaws directly rather than cleaning or disguising them.
Storage, accessories and handover
Between photography and handover, stand the bottle or decanter upright in a secure, shaded place with an even temperature. Do not disturb the seal, stopper, cork or closure or polish the glass.
From photography through handover, keep the stopper, box, booklet and purchase documents with the bottle or decanter they accompany.
