Fair. Has been lightly polished to remove some body haze. 14 x 11 mm chip to the back top has been glued back in. Quite pitted throughout and very rough around the base. Some Goanna oil inside. Down the right back to the main body are a series of short fractures up to about 10 mm in a column, these don't look like they go through the full thickness of the glass however. Large inclusion over the second A of Sandgate but no faults around it. Smaller inclusion to the mid back that does have a short fracture over it. Embossing is nice and strong. Still not a bad looking bottle and scarce in this large size. Grade: 5.9 Estimate: $100 - 150
