S. Greene & Co / (Lion) / Trade Mark / Fitzroy / Made by Melbourne // Glass Bottle Co. No base mark. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Patent. Applied top. Aqua. 13 oz. 238 mm. 1890s

Very Good. (7.2). Long bubble to rear inner neck has a small open part, which has let some dirt in. Thin streak to left of lion's leg is a thin lump of glass on the bottle from making. Nibbled impact to front base edge, heel under this has a very small flake over only about 5 x 3 mm. Nibbled section along rear base edge, this is minor. Left rear base heel has a shallow flake over about 14 x 8 mm. Couple of small spots of surface wear. Slightly pitted scratch across left shoulder. Streak to lower rear is another making mark. Some scratches and the odd scuff mark. Some fine inner dust and dirt looks like it will soak out. Brilliant colour, lovely embossing, great whittled glass, and a rare bottle to boot! . Estimate: $500-750
