Excellent. A superb piece of glass made by the Moonee Valley Glassworks. Their use of recycled glass results in any manner of unusual colours and usually full of airbubbles, as is this great piece. A superb lightish green colour, full of airbubbles, there are some dull patches, but these are impurities within the glass. A close inspection shows a couple of scratches with smoothish edges, it is possible that this is actually polished! Very hard to tell, it is a superb job if it is in fact polished. Dip in lip from making. These MV made examples are quite rare, this is a superb example which is a must for any beer collection. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $600 - 800
