(Applied Seal) S. Lognac with cross hatching either side. Deep punt to base. (Claret wine from Bordeaux) Wine Sealed Claret shape. Applied ring to top, Shear cut lip. Olive Green. Applied seal. 26 oz. 294 mm. 1850s-1860s
Excellent. There are little chips and flakes all around the edge of the lip but the nature of these lips is that at least some of these will be from making. A bit of stain in the back and base. Some scratches down the back. A dull spot or two. Nice large and well struck seal. Australian found, it appears most of the Lognac claret came in to Melbourne during 1864 & 1867 although the wine itself could be vintages from the 1850s. Grade: 8 Estimate: $100 - 150
