« Back to Sale

Sold for A$160

Pair of Bitters: 1. Hartwig Kantorowicz / Posen / Ham= / Burg / Ger= / Many. Base Mark: S. (Germany) 2. Finest Russian Bitter / Great / Britain / and / Dependencies. Round indent to base. Spirits Various 1. Square section, wider at shoulder. Tool finished top. Milk or Opal Glass. 24 oz. 2. Applied top. Dark Olive Green. 20 oz. 240 & 235 mm. 1890s - 1900s

1. Excellent. Swirled surface like these usually have which is from making. Some grime down the left should soak off. Tiny nick or two to base edge. Possibly a fine scrape to upper lip edge, although there are some folds from making along here too. Short pitted scratch to rear corner. 2. Poor. Looks excellent, but has a new top on it! They have used the correct lip in the correct colour, and replaced it supremely well, I very nearly missed it! What highlighted it to me was a little very fine wear and some nibbled tiny flakes below the lip, which would be from preparations for the repair job. A little inner dirt should soak out. There some small scuffs and scratches and one or two little spots of wear. A great looking bottle. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
