John Penrose / Silvertown. No base mark. Aerated Water Lamont Applied deep peach amber lip. Aqua. 13 oz. 215 mm. 1880s
Good. Heavily polished, as they always are. This has obviously been etched as there are some remains of the etching. Horseshoe shallow chip over the top of an airbubble to the rear base edge, this is not big. Some pits, fisheyes and scratches remaining externally, generally the surface is quite smooth though. The embossing is rounded, but still not too bad, it has been protected to some extent. The glass surface around these letters has some crazing as it has not been as extensively polished in this area. Some haze still to be seen internally. A rare bottle, these coloured lip lamonts are highly sought after. Grade: 6.4 Estimate: $600 - 800
