Another interesting Bitters Bottle from Australia:
Hi Ferdinand,
A message from Bill Ham regarding bitters not listed in the bitters books got me to thinking!
Recently a stunning bottle turned up which has never been seen, not even a piece has been found until recently! There is an aqua cabin bitters from Australia – Royal Kent Hop Bitters embossed on the front panel, with a large crown trade mark, a superb bottle and a rare one too! These have been listed in Ham’s book.
Recently, one turned up in a stunning green / yellow / amber colour – one of those colours that is somewhat in between the colours mentioned! This has a collar under the lip which is different to the standard aqua one, so probably was made by a different glassworks. Anyway, here is a picture, the only one known! It is now in a good bitters collection.
Cheers,
Travis.
