Moonee / Valley Coy / Melbourne / MVBW // (Horse and Rider) / Trade Mark. Base Mark: M.V. (Victoria) Aerated Water Codd Applied top. Four way pour Dobson style patent with four dimples. Aqua. 13 oz. 234 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Tiny flake to upper rear lip. Another tiny flake to upper front lip with surface bruise which is also tiny. A few little tiny nibbles around lip. 5 mm surface annealing fracture to inner lip is only part way into the glass, almost certainly from making. Scuffs and scratches around the shoulder, a couple are slightly deeper than standard. Scuffed scratch down right seam in upper half. Short scratch on mid left seam culminates in a small body flake. Under right base heel there are two very small and shallow impact flakes. Impact fisheye under left base heel. Some fine scuffs and scratches to the surface. A few little fisheyes and impact marks. A couple of surface bubbles. Superb bottle, these Moonee Valley Glassworks made codds are highly sought after. In this original unpolished condition it is a rarity, a particularly nice example. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $$300.00 - $400.00
