J. Eastman & Co / Broken Hill. Base Mark: O O. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Maugham Applied top. Amethyst (Zapped). 13 oz. 267 mm. 1890s
Very Good. This is not a natural colour, this has been "zapped". Some light inner haze. Thin open bubble across embossing. Above embossing towards seam there are five or six marks that look like little chips, but most are actually lumps of glass on the surface, one does go into the glass. At the top of the lower lump is a fine surface fracture. These are all making marks. Down from this under the base is an odd dint which is a making mark too. A little surface stain looks like it will wash off. A few scuffs and scratches. Disregarding the colour, this is actually in quite nice condition, a crude example. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $50 - 75
