Hello,
Nice bottle and find. I have many, many listings for Portner bottles. There are at least two amber variations, but I'm not sure about the size of yours. It looks like the 9" version. As far as going price, it would have to be cleaned up nicer than that and in great condition for starters. I have many Portner variations in my collection, but haven't dug an amber one yet. Shipping from the UK would probably scare a US buyer. I know it's a wide range, but somewhere between US$35 - $85 would be a reasonable GUESS. It could (always a possibility) go for a bit more locally. The nine inch is listed in the 1995 DC book at $15-$18.

What other VA bottles are you digging up. Fill up a box for me.[] I'm buying if you're flying.[][][]

Grim, I bet that would be a pretty bottle after a tumble.
