Repaired. (0). This has been repaired through the upper neck groove and then again by having another lip attached as well. There is a lip crack down to the inner lip washer groove. 25 x 15 mm bruise to upper front left on the body of the bottle. Discoloured or filled burst bubble to upper rear, hard to tell due to the paint. Oh, and this has been painted purple to disguise the repairs, it is a see through purple, actually looks effective. This paint is scratched in places, and where there is a sticker under the base, this comes off with the paint. It looks quite clear underneath, but may be slightly aqua? Bruise to lower rear. mm crack to lower left rear. 35 x 10 mm angled crack on and left of the kangaroo. The paint makes these really hard to see so I may have missed one or two, but that won't change the grading of 0. Interesting shelf example of a very rare and sought after codd bottle. Estimate: $50-75
