Good. (6). 11 x 8 mm chip to the front right top. Impact with wide 8 mm fracture to the top of the back lip. 5 x 3 mm chip to the front left lip. Nibbles at the bottom edge of the top. Crazing. Very fine 40 mm hairline across the left shoulder. More prominent 90 mm hairline from the left edge of the globe around mid bottle to the back. Dark smoke stain through the body. Some rust also. Potters stamp has been hit twice with a faint stamp above the main one. The print is really crisp, unusual for these early Bendigo pottery made ginger beers. Needs a bit of work but well worth cleaning up. Estimate: $30-60
