Very Good. Iridescence all over which in the case of early glass like this looks magnificent. Some rust stain on one side. Deeper scratch lines around the middle and base edge of the bottle which are also kind of nice showing this one was used for a long while. Again hard to give a grading as really the charm of early glass like this is exactly for it to show its age!
