Good. Super rare patent marble bottle from North East Victoria. Does however have a very difficult to see bruise in the lip measuring about 25 x 5 mm. In the back chamber is a fracture 29 mm long on the inside that doesn't actually go through the full thickness of the glass. At the base are two little impact bruises, one is 6 x 6 mm and the other 6 x 3 mm. Some scuffs and scratches externally. Internally the glass has very light patches of haze. Bottle actually displays as VG-Exc but with the defects mentioned. Still an extremely rare item. Grade: 6.05 Estimate: $150 - 200
