George Hiscox / Guildford // Reliance Patent / 4 / Sole makers / Dan Rylands Ld / Barnsley. No base mark. Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Blue. 13 oz. 232 mm. 1880s
Poor. Repaired top. The lip has been replaced on this one, the colour is slightly different to the rest of the bottle. There is a large chunk of glass in the rear top section which has been glued into place, this is the original piece of glass, there is a 12 x 10 mm section of resin in the lower portion of this where some glass must have flaked off. The glue job is quite good, the glass is angled, but the join can't be felt very easily on the outside, the inside has some resin build up along the glue line. Heavily polished. Quite a bit of etching remaining around the embossing. Still has some inner haze. Small chip to right seam line towards base. Evidence remains of scratches, and some fisheyes remain. A great shelf filler, looks great on the shelf, for those that can't afford the expensive complete examples this is an ideal alternative. Grade: N/A Estimate: $200 - 300
