George Hughes // Melbourne. No makers marks. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 233 mm. 1860s
Excellent. Polished. Small burst bubble to rear lip with rounded edges from the polishing process. Possible minor reworking to the inner lip circumference. Some annealing marks where the top was applied to the bottle. Very fine inner haze in patches. Remnants of fisheyes and pit marks, most concentrated around the base area. The embossing is still very clear as are the seam lines. Heaps of little bubbles in this fantastic piece of glass. This is an exceptionally rare Melbourne torpedo bottle! Grade: 8 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
