Very Good. Polished. There has been some shallow chipping around a half of the inner lip that has been smoothed down. At the end of this remains an 11 x 9 mm bruise just on the inner top. Surface marks remaining are pretty small with just some light pit marks and the like. Embossing is quite fine but clear. Great colour. This is the very rare Sydney version of the Rowlands blob top. Very nice condition, a great bottle. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $2000 - 3000
