Please return to / Charles. W. Burcher / Charleville. Smooth base. (Queensland) Aerated Water Lamont Spun on top. Dark amethyst. 10 oz. 217 mm. 1900s-1910s
Very Good. There are some deep scratches down the left side of the bottle. This area starts below the word Charleville and continues around half of the back. The scratches run from the shoulder down to the base. The lip has clearly had some shallow chips that have been ground down slightly. You can still see the smoothed over remains of a couple of chips. The proportion of the top suggests not too much has been taken off here. An X has been deliberately scratched into the base. Some fisheyes and flakes can be seen around the base and at the back base are two burst bubbles/chips, one is 5 x 5 mm and the other 4 x 4 mm but both quite shallow. There is a light internal haze, with the bottle having been oiled internally. There are of course typical other scuffs, scratches and marks to the body. Actually displays very well and a lovely colour. (Same bottle as sold Auction 5 Lot 76). Grade: 7 Estimate: $100 - 125
