Grape Cordial. British Registration Diamond to base. (United Kingdom) . Goldfields. Cordial. Heavily embossed Grapevine and Grapes pattern. Deep indent at upper shoulder. Heavily embossed hexagons to neck. Applied top with flared out lip. Aqua. 26 oz. 310 mm. 1850s-1860s
Very Good+. (N/A). Hard to grade as this is effectively mint. Apart from one minor issue, a perfect 6.5 mm hole that has been drilled through the bottle near the base edge - this likely was so a previous owner could turn this into a lamp! One minor scuffed scratch at shoulder. Tiny nick or two to base edge. Couple of minor nicks to the heavily embossed parts. Effectively a stunning example. I haven't noticed on previous examples, this one has three seams so was moulded in three section from top to bottom which is unusual. Great for display, or use it is a lamp! No numerical grading given as I am tempted to say Excellent plus regardless of the hole. Estimate: $750-1000
