J. G. Downing / Moss Vale. Potters stamp: Mauri Bros & Thomson / Sydney. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump shape. All tan, black print. 13 oz. 175 mm. 1900s
Very Good. 7 x 7 mm flake chip to front lip, there is a 7 x 2 mm flake on the inner lip associated with this. 5 x 2 mm glaze flake to front right shoulder. Under front base is a section of sharp, long chips, which are likely from the making process, these cover about 32 mm by up to 5 mm, there are some other nibbles around the under side of the base as well. Some rust stain to the rear body. This would have to be the crudest ginger beer we have ever seen! The glaze has popped all over like a bad case of acne, there are glaze runs under the base, this is just an amazing piece. It is a rare bottle too! Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $200 - 250
