J. G. Lewin // North Adelaide. (South Australia) Aerated Water Maugham Fatter Maugham type. Applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 228 mm. 1870s-1880s
Very Good. Polished. Has been quite pitted and some marks remain but basically pretty clean now. There is a large bubble at the base edge that has fractured over about 12 x 6 mm at the surface and partly discoloured. Across from the T of North is an inclusion with a surface butterfly shaped fracture around it of a total of 5 x 4 mm. A couple of fleabites on the lip. Embossing is a bit weak in places but this is the way it has been made. Basically a pretty solid example of a very scarce bottle. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $100 - 150
