"Spring Vale" / Wines / (Leaves and Grapes). No base mark. (South Australia) Wine Decanter Early stoppered glass decanter with acid etched design. 192 mm. 1910s
Very Good. Spring Vale Wines seem to have been relatively new in 1895, and were last mentioned 1915, so this is an early piece. The product of vineyards at Watervale owned by Messrs H. Buring and Sobels. A little grime to upper lip. There is a small flake to the front neck on the edge of the cut design. Little nick on the next one from this and one or two scrapes as well. Some fine dullness throughout. One or two little impact surface flakes. A few scratches and the odd scuff mark. We have not seen one of these Aussie wine decanters before. Stopper fits, not sure it is original? Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $150 - 200
