Plummer Murphy & Co / Trade / (Castle) / Mark / Sth Melbourne / Regd 1894. Base Mark: V. (ebonite stopper with Riley impressed to both sides) (Victoria) Aerated Water Internal Thread Shouldered Cylinder. Applied top. Aqua. 26 oz. 259 mm. 1900s-1910s
Very Good. There were a couple of Victoria glass works in Melbourne in the 1900s-1910s, interestingly this is clearly from the same mould as the A base mark example. There is a really deep 20 x 4 mm burst bubble to the mid right top. A bit of stain inside. Some scuffs and scratches. A few little marks to the embossing. Scarce bottle with this base mark and a really nice example. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $70 - 100
