T. Hardy // Adelaide. Base Mark: Dot. (South Australia) Wine Cork Stoppered Applied top. Banded barrel shaped bottle. Aqua. 1/2 Gallon. 282 mm. 1900s
Excellent. From above the first E of Adelaide around to the bottom of the lower rib above the D of Hardy on the other side is a long, streaky airbubble that is milky looking as it is in fact made up of a myriad of tiny bubbles. Another making streak near this. Also a fantastic swirl in the glass which has some dark green amongst it. Some minor scuffs and scratches to the wide part of the body, some minor high point wear to the embossing. Small open bubble to upper rib, another surface bubble or two to be found. Some minor spots of wear on some of the ribs. Usage wear under the base. An inclusion or two with no associated damage. Yet another rare wine barrel, one of several on offer in this auction! Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $150 - 200
