Excellent. (8.3). Minor patch of surface wear to rear lip. Thin surface bubble to front right shoulder. Patch of surface wear to upper front above the embossing. Mid right rear has a large inclusion, there is no damage around this. Couple of brown streaks within the glass to lower right. Nick to rear heel. Some scuffs and scratches. Little patch of wear between the words Green Ponds, though this could be a making mark? Embossing has a bit of a flat appearance, this is the way it was made. A great example of a very rare bottle, only the second that we have sold. Green Ponds is now known as Kempton, which is a little north of Hobart. Estimate: $750-1000
