Good. (6). 4 x 4 mm chip at the back lip with a vertical 30 mm crack running down from the lip here. The front left lip has a similar chip of about 4 x 5 mm in the outer lip and also has a crack, curving this time to the left also of about 30 mm. There is some very heavy wear to the edges of the panels and on the lip. The thin edges at the front left and the back right are particularly worn, it looks like this bottle was used as some sort of grinding tool at some stage! Bit of dirt and stain inside. Still an impressive bottle with the big embossing and great colour. Estimate: $50-100
