Weaver & Co / Ginger / (Flower or similar) / Beer / Hobart. Impressed stamp: Pinnacle / Brand. (Tasmania) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump shape. Blue Lip. Black Print. 10 oz. 181 mm. 1900s
Very Good. Has a number of faults but nearly all can be attributed to the potter. The lip is slightly mis-formed in one place, has a bit of glaze wear and some scratches, also a kiln kiss at the front that is a paler blue. The shoulder has very bubbly glaze like a bad case of acne. The front base has a kiln kiss and above this a curved line of clay has pulled out of the bottle when wet. At the back are what could be little impact marks although a couple are raised up like air bubbles in side that didn't quite burst. This has left crazing around the lower section and dark hairlines mainly around the back, although all are quite tight and should soak out. Interesting example, it is mostly as made but very rough! Grade: 7.4 Estimate: $30 - 50
