Katunga Aerated Water / Trade / (St. George Slaying Dragon) / Mark / Company. Base Mark: M. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Codd. All way pour, applied top. Aqua. 10 oz. 231 mm. 1899

Very Good. (7.5). Tiny flake to front lip, this is very shallow and only 2 x 2 mm. Little impact scuff to upper lip left of this. Band of scuffs down the left rear body which is about 20 mm wide, these aren't overly deep but are consistent. There are 3 pitted scratches in this band near the base edge. Lower right rear body has a spot of deep wear over only 3 x 3 mm, below this there is another near the base edge, and then another spot of wear under the heel, all in the same region. A fisheye is immediately below this last spot of wear to the heel. Small fisheye to front heel. A few other fisheyes around the body, although not many. Small patch of wear to lower front just below the embossing. Embossing is very strong, there are some little spots of wear and nicks to some of the letters. The A of company on the lower front has a nibbled impact mark. Band of water stain to inner front will soak out with the right product such as Rustbuster. General lightish scuffs and scratches and a bit of very light haze in places. A very rare bottle from a short lived company, the couple I have seen and handled have been polished, and so this original item fresh out of the ground and simply rinsed is a prime example in my mind, a wonderful bottle for the most ardent of collectors which will always be rare due to the short lived nature of the company.. Estimate: $1500-2000
