Good. An Australian-found target ball, rarely seen intact (for obvious reasons!). Lovely crude and misshapen glass, possible damage/chipping to the shear lip but at least in part is just typical manufacturing faults with these type of lips. Needs some love and attention to bring out its best. Would appear to be the product of an Australian glass works and very rare in this colour. Grade: 6.8 Estimate: $500 - 750
