J. Gray / Campbells / Creek. Base Mark: M. (Victoria) Aerated Water Patent Applied top. Marble stoppered patent with base ring. Aqua. 13 oz. 228 mm. 1890s
Very Good. An extremely rare variation, these patents usually have a blob type lamont top with a lamont stopper internally. This one has the codd top with inner neck ring and a marble stopper, these are very rare like this. Possibly made incorrectly at the Melbourne Glassworks? A few tiny fisheyes and impact marks to be found. Some surface dullness, a few light scuffs and scratches. Little surface bubble to rear just above ring. Some scattered fine impact marks around the base edge. A great example of this rare bottle. Grade: 7.7 Estimate: $400 - 500
