Cosmopoliet / (Man holding bottle) / Schiedam. No base mark. Spirits Gin Applied top. Green. 26 oz. 247 mm. 1870s
Excellent. Crude lip has glass folds and the odd dip or two in it, this is all from making. Couple of spots of dirt internally and possibly a spot or two of haze. Couple of marks to left base edge, one looks to be a flake, but is amongst some crude making marks again, so may be a making mark. Some scratches. One or two fisheyes. Upper embossing is light from making, trade mark is typically great! This was made for a cheeky competitor of JJ Melchers, notice no Melchers embossed on this one. A superb, crude bottle, there are a few inclusions through the glass with no damage and a ton of wonderful bubbles. Superb! Grade: 8.7 Estimate: $300 - 350
