Good. Polished. The inner surface is still quite etched as it has been quite ordinary before the polish. Outer surface is smooth, this would have had some etching as well which has been polished out, around the embossing there is some surface etching remaining, embossing is a tad rounded but still quite strong considering the polish that would have been required, it may have been protected by the looks of it. Little dark open bubble to inner lip. A bit out of shape at the bottom from manufacture. A little dull under the base. This is the largest of three sizes, and is very rare in this large size. A superb early Australian found sarsaparilla bottle. Grade: 6 Estimate: $$200.00 - $250.00
