Lot 842: Chutney. Rosella Preserving Co, Rosella on branch. Amber. 26 oz. (Victoria). (Late Kingsley Durdin Collection)

Near Mint. (9). Some fine inner lip, shoulder and base dirt that will likely soak out. Bubble to front shoulder is partly at the surface, this is from making. Inner upper rear has a large bubble that is burst with a little dirt around the edges, this covers about 29 x 11 mm on the inner surface, and is also from making. Small open bubble right in the middle of the trade mark, also from making. 7 x 4 mm mark across the front right base edge is a folded mark from making, basically a surface bubble of sorts. Little nibbled surface nick to front left lower body. 4 x 7 mm surface bubble to right rear base edge. Strong and detailed embossing is near pristine with only a little nick or two. Just a few scratches and minor scuff marks. A superb example of a very rare bottle, this is the first that we have sold. This is from the late Kingsley Durdin collection. Estimate: $2000-3000
