Very Good. There are three shallow lip flakes, 6 x 4 mm, 3 x 2 mm and 6 x 3 mm and then a smaller flake about 2 x 2 mm. These are all just over glaze depth. There is some grime to be washed off, the chocolate area has crazing from the manufacture. There is a shallow flake chip from the front base, 10 x 4 mm. The front and right side has some light dirt and rust discolouration, this does appear to be on the surface and will probably clean off. There are some light scuffs and marks to be found. With a good clean up, this would be a nice example of a country Victorian bottle. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $50 - 75
