J. Hives / & / Son. Potters stamp: Mauri Bros & Thomson / Pinnacle / Sydney. (New South Wales) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Tan Top, Off White Body. Black Print. 13 oz. 170 mm. 1910s
Fair. Deep short scratch to front lip. Discoloured hairline starts at top of right lip and comes down 50 mm, there is a branch off this below the blob top about 15 mm long. This looks a little darker on inner lip and branches out as well. The left rear top has a dark crack starting at the top and going down about 200 mm towards the bottom with a hook at the end. Where it goes across the shoulder it sort of doubles up a little. A 20 mm hairline comes from this below the lip. Small shallow flake to front base edge. Glaze is quite worn to the body. Some flakes to be found. Some discolouration. Yes, this has issues, but the all important front of the bottle is not bad, just a little dull due to the glaze wear. Quite a hard bottle to get from Dubbo. Grade: 5.2 Estimate: $$40.00 - $60.00
