Very Good. Polished. Tiny nick to front upper lip. Left lower lip has some shallow flaking. Oiled internally. The left panel has some scratching, in the lower region a few deeper scratches head towards the front panel, where this crosses the corner is a gouged section of nibbled flakes which minimises to a deep scratch on the corner panel towards the base. Well embossed. This bottle is full of impurities and little bubbles, it is a wonderful piece of glass. These Brisbane bottles are harder to get in this reverse style than the standard variation. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $600 - 800
