Moore / (Rearing Lion) // Newcastle / & / Maitland. No base mark. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Patent Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 240 mm. 1880s
Good. Polished. 5 x 3 mm chip to inner lip. Inner neck stain. Nibbled impacted chips to the front base edge around to behind the left seam line have been ground back to minimise them, but hasn't really worked as they still are there and look quite jagged and fractured in places. A few other little nicks to base edge. Thin flake to trade mark is likely a glass pull from making. There are a couple of tiny fractures from inclusions. Some fisheyes and little impacts. There are a few scratches and other marks to be found. Nice colour. Embossing is rounded, the trade mark has no detail to it. Grade: 6.3 Estimate: $40 - 60
