Higginson's / Royal / Trade (Bell with fast in middle) Mark / Brisbane. No base mark. (Queensland). Aerated Water. Codd. Applied top. Traditional codd style patent with two tear drops. Aqua. 10 oz. 230 mm. 1890s
Very Good. (7.6). Fisheye to upper right lip, another small one to upper left lip. Some fine inner dirt down the right side and around the inner base, this will soak out. 3 x 3 mm shallow fisheye to right rear base edge. Little fisheyes and impact marks to be found. Some little scuffs and fine scratches to be found. Embossing has some spots of wear, but is pretty good in general. Milky small bubble to rear heel. A little very fine wear to inner chamber from the marble in the form of very small and shallow fisheyes. Wonderfully crude, there are deep neck striations all the way around the chamber from making. Not sure where this was made as it is unmarked, but looks to have been a small glassworks as this is a little different to the normal codds. Overall, a great example of a very rare bottle, one we have never sold before.. Estimate: $2500-3500
