George Hughes // Melbourne. No makers mark. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 227 mm. 1860s
Very Good. An early Melbourne torpedo, one of the few that have not been polished. Natural fold to glass on inner lip works around to upper lip and looks like a small chip in this area. This is only from making. There is, however, a couple of little flakes to the opposite lip and a few little nicks as well. Very dull throughout. The point has some impacts and little flakes. Couple of deeper scuffed scratches to the body. Scattered body scratches. Some fine fisheyes to be found. Quite a rare and early bottle. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $150 - 250
