Very Good. Tiny nibble to making split on upper front lip. Couple of minor scrapes to inner rear lip. Collar below lip on left side has a natural fold in it with an associated little flake from making. Inner water staining down the front. Some reasonably extensive scratching, mostly down the rear, there is some down the front right and left, but mostly in the upper region and mostly around the embossing. The rear base heel has an open bubble which is shallow, a tiny little flake associated with this. Great as found condition, cleaning the inner stain will leave a decent example. This is an extremely rare Melbourne wine bottle! Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $750 - 1000
