R. Ellis. Ruthin / Manufacturer / of Superior // Aerated Waters / To The Royal Family. No makers mark. Aerated Water Torpedo Applied square top. Aqua. 13 oz. 217 mm. 1850s
Very Good. Couple of tiny upper lip flakes and one very smaller outer lip edge flake. Little nibbled flake to the pronounced seam on lower body. Heavy embossing, a few impact flakes, nibbles and some wear to the high points in places. Small surface bubble or two. A few tiny nicks to be found. This has a weird texture throughout, we think it is likely the result of an acid dipping process to "polish" the bottle. Quite an attractive, early bottle, these are found in Australia. Grade: 7 Estimate: $50 - 75
