Truffle bottle. Base mark: Deep Indented Pontil. (James A. Lerk Collection) Early Glass Black Glass Applied top. Black. 199 mm. 1840s
Very Good. Not sure on exact age, looks a bit earlier than the goldfields found ones with the deep pontilled base. Maybe early 1800s. 10 x 6 mm lip chip. Nibbled flake to opposite lip. Some fine scuffs and scratches. There appears to be a burst bubble to the inner pushed up base. A nice example, this is from the James A. Lerk collection. Grade: 7 Estimate: $20 - 30
