Good. Polished. The side lip has a transverse fracture that is 17 mm at the top and 10 mm at the bottom. The very top fraction of a mm of the lip has been ground slightly. Also on the lip is a fine 3 mm bruise and a 3 x 2 mm inner lip chip. A bit of pitting and some small fisheyes remain over the surface of the bottle. Embossing is good and the bottle presents very well. Still quite a decent example of a scarce and attractive pictorial Queensland Lamont. Grade: 6.8 Estimate: $$250.00 - $350.00
