J. Plummer / South Melbourne // T. Turner & Co / Makers / Dewsbury. No Base Mark. (Victoria) Aerated Water Patent Applied top. Premier Patent with four large neck dimples and lamont style stopper. Aqua. 13 oz. 222 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Interestingly, we have sold one of these in the past but it was made by Breffit, not Turner so was a variation. Stained internally, there is some minor outer dullness. A few impact marks around the lip. Small open bubble to the lower part of front left dimple. The left rear dimple has a small flake to its upper edge and a bruise over a total of 6 x 3 mm. Some impacts around the base edge. A few fisheyes to the body, there are some thin pitted scratches to be found and some other scratches and scuffs. Embossing is quite good on this example, these Melbourne Turner made patents are often weakly embossed. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $200 - 250
