M. E. Abbott / Registered / (Phoenix) / Trade Mark / Launceston // Bratby & Hinchliffe / Manchester. No base mark. (Tasmania) Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Four way pour Dobson style patent with four flattened dimples. Aqua. 13 oz. 227 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Scuff to front lip. Inner chamber on either side has a section of pitted wear where the marble continues to make contact. Some patchy inner stain looks to be water type stain which will likely soak out. Mid right has a small patch of very minor surface flaking where some rust has popped off in the past. Some fisheyes. A few scratches and scuff marks, one scratch to left rear is a tad discoloured. Nice chunky embossing, unusual in this variety with flattened dimples, harder to get in this large size. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $50 - 75
