Chapman & Jose / Soda Water // Geraldton. No makers marks. Aerated Water Torpedo Long collar top. Cobalt blue. 10 oz. 239 mm. 1890s
Excellent. Inside the top/neck is an open bubble from manufacture. Upper lip has a small rough spot, which is a fold in the glass from manufacture. Appears to have been oiled internally. There are a couple of scratches near the base. A 4 x 3 mm shallow impact mark near the seam line between WATER & TON. Below the E of JOSE is a similar mark measuring 4 x 2 mm and another near the lip. Overall in original shiny condition. The neck has been stretched out during making and is a slightly paler colour at the top than the body of the bottle. Absolutely superb example of this bottle. EX: Boyd Meppem & Paul Bruce collections. Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $2000 - 2500
