T. J. Green / Soda Water / Morang. No base mark. Unbranded spout in place. (Victoria). Aerated Water. Soda Syphon. Applied top, tooled finish. Round. Clear. 30 oz. 243 mm. 1900s
Fair. (5). The left half of the top has been broken down about 35 mm. This chunk has been glued back in long ago, the glue has since gone an orange colour. A further bruise down from this to the neck, and some chipping where the break is on the upper lip on one side. This needs to be soaked out and reapplied in a better manner to improve the appearance. With the spout in place much of this is hidden, but the lower extremity does pop out to the front left upper shoulder region. Soda stain internally. Tiny flake to left shoulder. Several nibbled impact flakes around the pedestal base edge, these are not large nor overly deep. Scratches throughout, some deeper examples as well. An extremely rare syphon, I have only seen this and one good example personally. Estimate: $100-150
