W. Brockwell / Geelong. Polished pontil scar to base. With an early unmarked spout. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Soda Syphon. Round. Cobalt Blue. 30 oz. 236 mm without spout. 1890s
Good. (6.8). Taking the spout off reveals a fine 25 mm angled crack in the front top and a thin 9 x 5 mm bruise on top of the back lip. Some soda stain inside. Some scratches and wear around but mostly quite light. Lovely early wheel cut type and of course a magnificent colour. Extremely rare, this appears to be the first complete example recorded. Estimate: $1000-2000
