Good. Some wear and little glaze flakes around the inner lip edge. 20 x 9 mm chip to left base edge. Below the potters stamp is a 10 x 5 mm flake. From the right rear base edge is a fine crack that runs up to about half way before continuing as a fine hairline over the shoulder to about half way up the neck. From this mid body is a fine crack towards the stamp over about 35 mm. Couple of glaze hairlines as well to the rear and one across the upper part of the badge at the front. Some crazing as well. Impact mark or two to the glaze. Some lumps and glaze pinpricks from making to the trade mark area, although looks to be one small glaze flake here too. Some minor discolouration and spots of wear. A solid enough example of a rare South Australian bottle. Grade: 6.5 Estimate: $200 - 250
