Very Good. Would rate better but typical of this age glass there are a couple of small defects. An 8 mm long fracture in the shoulder just behind the seam line. A 7 x 3 mm burst and discoloured bubble under the base. A difficult to see 4 x 4 mm bruise about 40 mm up from the base on the left side. Also a 13 mm long fracture on the side neck but this is not through the full thickness of the glass and looks like it is probably a manufacturing fault. There is a little bit of light internal milky stain. Outside has only some very light scuffs, scratches and marks. Embossing is beautifully strong and crisp. This is a much better than average example of a scarce sauce bottle. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $20 - 40
