Very Good. Spout is firmly stuck in place, so we only presume the lip is fine. Some minor soda residue staining internally. Couple of slightly larger than usual fisheyes. Small nibbled flake to pedestal base at front. A few other fisheyes, scuffs and scratches scattered around. Three short deep scratches to left shoulder, one has a tiny associated surface bruise. A few minor flakes under the base heel. A nice enough example of this pictorial Tasmanian soda syphon. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $100 - 150
