Sold for A$1,550
From / Bates' / Chocolate / Depot / Swanston / St / Melbourne. Base Mark: M. Household Jar Applied top, spun finish. Square, tall jar. Clear. 1 Pint. 204 mm. 1900s
Very Good. Tiny impact mark to upper lip edge. Slight hazy appearance throughout, but wiping this inner haze with my finger leaves a nice shiny surface, so may just need a good clean. Some light scratches scattered around. Crudely made piece with a few extra lumps of glass to be found. Couple of tiny nicks to base edge. Great embossing with no marks. This Melbourne address Bates jar is exceptionally rare, a very important piece. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $1250 - 1500
