J. H. Foureur Ltd / Kapai / (Kapai Plant) / Trade Mark / (Regd) / West Mitcham. Base: A. Aerated Water Internal Thread Shouldered type. Tool finished blob top. Aqua. 26 oz. 257 mm. 1910s
Very Good. Polished. A little fine grime internally, may have had a light oiling. Small nibbled mark to the thread on the inner lip. Couple of airbubbles have fine surface fractures to the curved edge on one side, which is quite common on many bottles. Fine streak is wide at places to the rear, this is an odd bubble type mark from making. Remains of some fisheyes, these can barely be seen at all though. A few tiny nicks to the heel. Great, heavy embossing has just a few small flakes and minor marks. Surface are quite smooth, but the embossing has been well protected. Great looking bottle, a rare and highly desirable South Australian bottle which rarely comes up for sale. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
