Rowlands / Trade (Farmer and miner) Mark / Late / Rowlands & Lewis // Ballarat / and / Melbourne. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied blob top. Aqua. 10 oz. 245 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Has been polished. Looks to have been etched, water worn with fisheyes and pits throughout, with remnants of these remaining throughout, leaving a fine orange peel effect. The embossing is still quite strong, it does have evidence of wear and minor marks to it, but this remains one of the better embossed examples we have seen of this rare Rowlands variation. Grade: 7 Estimate: $250 - 300
