Good. Polished. The glass is still very heavily etched from its time in the ground actually leaving quite an interesting effect. There is a minor 5 mm horseshoe bruise on the top of the lip. A curved 15 mm fracture over the base edge at the bottom of one of the raised ribs between the panels. Still an attractive early Australian Goldfields era bottle and very hard to get.
