W. N. Crowder / Adelaide. Base Mark: (Dot inside a circle). (South Australia) Aerated Water Cork Stoppered Applied, sqaure lip. Aqua. 13 oz. 198 mm. 1870s
Very Good. This is possible Adelaide glassworks, as W. N. Crowder was a director. The earliest of 3 types of soda we believe from this company. 2 x 1 mm impact to lip edge. 5 x 2 mm shallow flake to lower part of applied lip at end of a scratch. Annealing marks to inner lip. 5 x 5 mm impact to base heel. Stained throughout, this has a swirled effect in places but is not deep. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. Scattered impacts and fisheyes as well. Embossing has some marks to the high points. A few of the scratches are a little pitted. It is hard to find these without lip damage. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $150 - 250
