W. Wilce / Trade / (WW monogram) / Mark / Sydney. Base: Triangle. (New South Wales) Aerated Water Crown Seal Champagne. Spun finished top. Dark Green. 10 oz 213 mm. 1910s
Poor. Actually showable as the dark glass hides the faults but... There is a large crack that runs along the front base edge. Under the N of Sydney is an area where the impact must have occurred to cause the crack and at least one piece of about 10 x 8 mm has been glued back in. Another piece next to this is still in place but there are numerous short fractures and the like in this area. Anyway back to the main crack which continues from the front base edge up through the edge of the last Y of Sydney and then in a big arc across the back and down the left back base edge. Fleabite on the lip. Scratches and scuffs to the body. Rare bottle and quite a spectacular looking crown seal so not bad as a shelf example. Grade: 2 Estimate: $30 - 50
