Large Batty Salad Oil. Base Mark: British Registration Diamond. Goldfields Salad Oil Applied top. Aqua. 26 oz. 350 mm. 1860s
Very Good. Polished. Remains of inner etching throughout. The crown still has good detail, in general the surfaces are very smooth and highly polished. Some remains of scratches and pit marks, but these are minimal in size and number. A few dull spots near the base where the bottle has been secured within the tumbler whilst being polished. A hard to get early salad oil, these are quite fragile, so to get an undamaged example is quite difficult. Grade: 7.1 Estimate: $300 - 400
