N/A. (N/A). 1. Very Good. A little dull, this has been oiled internally. Couple of dirty surface bubbles. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Great, strong embossing. Nice example. 2. Good. Oiled internally. 3 x 2 mm flake to front lip. 7 x 6 mm nibbled flake to outer front right lip. 15 x 7 mm deep burst bubble to mid rear, this is flaked around the edges. 12 x 6 mm flaked chip to right rear base edge. Little surface flake to upper front. Deep scratches down the rear, some other lighter scratches and the odd scuff mark to be found. Great embossing has minimal marks, this is a nice colour as well. 3. Very Good. A bit hazy, oiled internally. Tiny lip nicks. Little nick or two. A few fine scratches. Great embossing, one small impact flake, otherwise it is really strong. Nice colour. 4. Excellent. Tiny nick to upper left lip. Some tiny heel nicks. Some fine scuffs and scratches, but overall, a lovely example. Great group of Rosella items. 5. Fair. Polished. Actually displays much better than this but there was a 35 mm fracture along the front base edge which when polished has coincided with the bottle slipping in the tumbler at this location, creating a deep line of wear that has actually gone all the way through the crack leaving a deep section of wear. Oiled internally. Otherwise there is just some light stain inside and some very light surface marks. Strong embossing. These are very hard to get and nearly always have a fracture or bruise in them. Estimate: $50-100
