J. Davis / Patent / Warrnambool. Smooth base. Comes with a brass Horner's patent cap and glass ovoid shaped stopper. Aerated Water Patent Applied top. Dark aqua. 10 oz. 210 mm. 1870s-1880s
Very Good. Polished. Stunning early Australian patent bottle. Extensive polishing means the seam lines are no longer visible. Embossing is nice and strong however. Some very minor marks can be seen here and there. Some fisheyes can still be seen. There are a few bubbles that have surfaced. Surface is largely smooth. Beautiful colour and almost certainly an early Melbourne glassworks bottle as Alfred Felton held the rights to Horner's patent in Victoria (or as it was registered - Felton's patent). Extremely rare patent bottle. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
