Good. (6.6). Polished. Lip chip has been ground, there is also a very fine lip fracture. Still a bit dull and a lot of pitting and wear remains over the surface. Has some baby oil inside. This is the first example we have had in this colour without the "Adams & Barrett" embossing above the word Queensland. Unusual variety and a lovely coloured aerated water bottle. Estimate: $200-400
