Very Good. Two shallow chips to the back lip (7 x 2 mm and 5 x 4 mm). On the front shoulder including the top of the ring around the embossing is a large burst bubble that measures 15 x 8 mm. Embossing itself has some flakes and wear and there are the typical scratches and scuffs on the glass surface here and there. Very light inner haze near the base. Harder to get glassworks variation and a good looking example. It does also appear that the A on the base of these may well be the Australian Glass Works in Melbourne rather than the Adelaide Glass Works as was originally thought. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $60 - 100
