Excellent. 3 x 2 mm fisheye to lower front right neck. Near the R of Victoria at the front is an 8 x 7 mm airbubble which has an inclusion within it with a couple of very short fractures within it, this is a making mark and extremely minor. Small airbubble to front left base heel has a tiny pinprick to one edge, the bubble is a tad milky. Little fisheye and scuff mark near rear base edge. Some inner dirty type marks look like they will soak out, these are minor. Tiny 2 x 1 mm surface flake near rear base edge. A few fine scuffs and minor scratches. Embossing is good with no marks to be found. A rare bottle in this Moonee Valley glassworks variety and this see through green colour which is considerably different to the black one we sold in Auction 41, note the lip finish is different on this one as well. A great piece! Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
