Great early bottle, Tim. As soon as I saw the thread title, I had to have a look! Bob, crazing like that occurred sometimes when the lip was being applied. If the bottle was allowed to cool a bit too long before the lip was applied, the hotter temperature of the blob meeting the cooler temperature of the neck could create some crazing. It's a fairly common occurrence, but it's usually not that pronounced. As it is manufacture-related, it's not a problem to me and just adds some character to a bottle. ~Jim
