My picture makes the dent look deeper. It actually very shallow (maybe about 1/8 of an inch).
It is intact and solid.

Condition and embossing is excellent. A few minor scraps and scratches. A tad of hazy spots. A tumble and this one would be close to mint.
A really cool looking hutch. GEO WEBER/ ALBANY N.Y. a cool monogram and a couple of stars. Shoulders and base are fluted. Lip is in excellent shape, aqua. Has been tumbled (someone else tumbled it) Has some minor high point wear on the fluted shoulders and base. Some minor nicks and pecks. Nice loooking bottle.
