Very Good. Bottle is dull over the entire surface as can be seen. Fine scratches and scuffed patches are evident. There is light wear to the surface of the embossing. There is a shallow burst bubble near the base, 4 x 3 mm. There is a manufacturing flaw near this in the form of a split in the glass, which is about 15 x 1 mm. Fisheyes can be found around the base and shoulder in small numbers and a few others on the body in small patches. The embossing is strong and very crude. Wonderful, rare and early South Australian maugham in as found condition. Grade: 7.15 Estimate: $750 - 1000
