Anderson & Black // Melbourne. No makers mark. Aerated Water Torpedo Long torpedo shape, applied square collared top. Aqua. 10 oz. 235 mm. 1850s
Very Good. Tumble cleaned. Has had a tumble clean leaving most of the surface detail. Seam lines are strong and clear. There has been scratches over the surface but the cleaning has softened their effect while the whittling in the glass is still visible. A very small number of little impact marks can be seen on close inspection. One of Melbourne's earliest and rarest embossed bottles. Grade: 7.85 Estimate: $1750 - 2000
