Very Good. (7.8). These have always been referred to as beers by Australian collectors although a quick look for Tung Jen Tang suggests this was in fact from a famous drug store. Either way this is a lovely bottle. Light hazy stain inside. Corking bruise to the lip over the Chinese characters side of 14 x 4 mm. Just light scuffs and scratches over the surface. Wonderful colour. Estimate: $75-150
