Burton & Co / (Three Diamonds Bearing B & Co within a circle) / Brisbane. Base Mark: XL (Within a Diamond). Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Four way pour Dobson style patent with four dimples. Aqua. 10 oz. 227 mm. 1900s
Fair. Polished. 18 x 10 mm deep ground mark at front towards base where a chip has been ground out. Below this a section over about 25 x 7 mm is also ground, in the middle of this is the remains of a horseshoe chip that has been worked on to partly disguise it. Looks as though they have ground around the base circumference in an effort to blend this in. Plenty of pits and fisheyes remaining. This was obviously pretty rough prior to a polish. It now looks shiny and is a reasonable shelf example of a scarce bottle. Grade: 5.9 Estimate: $30 - 40
