J. Dixon // Prahran Ice / & Aerated / Water Co / Melbourne. Base mark: D. (Victoria) Aerated Water Codd Dobson or Four way type. Applied top. Green. 10 oz. 253 mm. 1890s
Mint. A few tiny surface fisheyes. Couple of barely noticeable surface scuff marks. Maybe a fine scratch or two. We have called this green. It is a deep aqua, maybe not green but certainly bordering on it. Don't confuse this with the common Melbourne glassworks variety with JD under the base, I have not seen this greener version with a D only under the base before. Likely made by a smaller glassworks, looks like possibly Moonee Valley Glassworks? Pristine condition, this is nothing short of a magnificent item! This is from the late Roy Millar collection. Grade: 9.7 Estimate: $300 - 400
