This codd bottle is an extreme rarity, as far as we know, this is the only example ever found, there is one with no top known and this complete example, you cannot get any rarer than that!

Crown Seals have been increasing in popularity in recent years, this particular example is one of the finest around. For a crown seal it has everything going for it, it is a particularly early example, it is a fantastic dark green colour, it has an attractive trade mark and it is extremely rare. Don’t let this one go, another won’t turn up in a hurry!

When it comes to demijohns, this example is one of the rarest and most sought after in Victoria. Of the few examples that we know of, this is by far the best, it is in fully original condition with only a few minor marks from its apparent very limited time in use. Having been made by Pearson of Chesterfield, it is a fine example of pottery as well, the spigotted design with the original tap only adding to the desirability of such a piece.
Estimate: $8000-10000.

W. Burrett was a cordial maker in Camden in the 1850s-1860s. There is a broken example of one of these in a Sydney museum, and we believe another complete example may exist? This extremely rare bottle is a great piece of history, it was very crudely made by T. Field of Sydney with the internal opening on the top being about 25 mm across! A Burrett has never been offered for sale, here is your opportunity to buy an historically important piece!
Estimate: $7000 - 7500.

This is an extremely rare crown seal from the Illawarra Region of New South Wales. Although it has an off-set seam through the lip, this is an early bottle which has been very crudely made. It has hundreds of seed bubbles and crude wavy mould marks throughout. The nice light amethyst colour, the pictorial trade mark and the rarity make this one of the pinnacles in crown seal collecting!

IMPORTANT OFFERING!ABCR Auctions are pleased to present a great offering of 411 quality lots, with Auction 6 online from October 29th to November 12th at www.abcrauctions.comItems across almost every field from low end beginner type items right through to the top of the range, we truly do cater for collectors of all sorts.Amongst some of the important offerings available in Auction 6 are a selection of early black glass seals. These historic bottles date to a period when Australia was but a fledgling English colony. In addition to age the two examples featured on this page are magnum sized bottles making them particularly difficult to obtain.
Below is a superb squat shape with strong shoulder seal reading Gartmore 1802 and a star in the centre of the seal. The last lot in the auction it is far from the least measuring 240 mm tall and nearly as wide! This bottle is from Gartmore House in Scotland, located near Loch Lomond and ancestral home to the Bontine/Graham family. A truly stunning piece of black glass.
Lot 410 in Auction 6 is an imposing 301 mm tall. The well-struck seal to the mid body is embossed simply J.Bell. The style of bottle is synonymous with the early 1800s and the seal is not listed in Fay Banks books on English seals. It’s quite possible that J. Bell may in fact have been American. Whatever the origins this is another exceptional black glass bottle.
To view our extensive online catalogue, log onto our website in mid October.
