Very Good. An absolute classic gin bottle with huge embossing and lovely chamfered corners. Crude lip folds from making, there may be a small nick amongst this. Scuffs and scratches throughout verging into wear in places with the left panel pretty much dull with wear for the lower half. There are some other dull spots of wear. None of the marks are deep.
