J. Blackwell / T. Field / Potter / Sydney. (New South Wales) Ginger Beer Impressed Dump shape. Impressed. Salt Glaze. 10 oz. 165 mm. 1850s
Very Good. Gorgeous bottle and very rare. Attributed to a Sydney ginger beer brewer but no definite individual has been identified as using these bottles. There have been three amazingly professional repairs to this bottle: The lip has an approximately 10 x 5 mm repair to the front and roughly 12 x 5 mm filled to the back. The back base edge has an area that at its largest looks to be about 28 x 15 x 15 mm filled and painted. There is a kiln kiss but also some glaze wear around the shoulder. Beautiful strong stamps. A great looking early Sydney bottle. Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $1000 - 1500
