Scuffs and scratches scattered around, there are some deeper example to be found. A bit of wear to the embossing, the unusual oval around the embossing has heavy wear to the upper part of it. Band of wear to base edge as well. Very rare bottle, this is the only bottle we know if in Australia that was made by the Teutoburg Glassworks operated by W. Gossling and Son in Brackwede, Germany.
