L. Weise / Esperance. Base Mark: H within a circle. (Western Australia) Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Three way pour Hill's Patent with three triangle indentation. Deep Aqua. 13 oz. 230 mm. 1890s
Good. Polished. Oiled internally. Fine fracture to right lip comes down about 7 mm and across about 10 mm. This comes from a low point where a chip has been ground out of the lip, looks like it goes down only around a mm or so giving the lip a slightly lopsided appearance. A little inner stain remains. Very heavy embossing. The line above Weise has a flake from it over about 25 mm, much of this is not noticeable as it is very smooth. A few other knocks to the embossing. Some pits and fisheyes remain, quite smooth though in general. A superb rarity from Western Australia, made by the Hinrichson Glassworks in Adelaide, this is a lovely deep colour. Rarely do these come up for sale! Grade: 6.5 Estimate: $1500 - 1750
