Good. This bottle is quite solid but dull and stained all over with some scratches, scuffs and pit marks throughout. The top of the lip has a run of small flakes off the outer edge. Crudely applied lip has a slag of glass running around under the lip, some flaking in this area, possibly from making. Deep scuff mark to the rear half way down, 8 x 7 mm. There is a bubble at the front base that has a fracture around the outer edge of it, the bubble itself measures about 12 x 8 mm. Another bubble to the rear has a fisheye over it. There is a very shallow 4 x 3 mm burst bubble on the top of the R of Rockhampton. A few fisheyes here and there. Needs a bit of work but a good example of a rare Queensland marble bottle. Grade: 6.15 Estimate: $150 - 200
