Very Good. A few fine annealling marks from manufacture where the lip was applied to the bottle. Right rear lip has an imperfection in the way of a discoloured streak in the glass, there is also an airbubble on the inner lip at this spot, it is hard to tell, but there may be a fracture in this section over about 10 mm as well, or it may just be the discoloured streak? 40 mm scratch to front neck, similar scratch to rear neck. 30 mm scratch to rear upper body. Other lighter scuffs and scratches throughout. Some small rust spots. A couple of very shallow surface bubbles. Emboosing is generally fine, there are some spots of high point wear and a few small flakes to a couple of the letters. Some dirty water type stain internally. This is a nice shiny example of a great looking pictorial codd bottle from Hampshire, England. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $20 - 30
