Little fisheye to mid left. Surface bubble to lower front has a small part with dirt in it. Fisheye to right base edge. Quite heavy scuffed scratches down the rear. Some scuffs and scratches to the front, but comparatively few. A few fine fisheyes and marks to be found. An amazing bottle! I rate this as the best 26 ounce codd in Australia!
