M. Wilks / Hobart Town. Potters Stamp: Stephen Green / Imperial / Potteries / Lambeth. (Tasmania) Ginger Beer Impressed All white. Impressed. 13 oz. 168 mm. 1850s
Poor. Repaired. The top has been stuck on from half way down the neck with the original piece. There is a flake to the right neck along this join line. There is one small missing piece to the left rear, 10 x 5 mm. Hairline comes down from this about 80 mm before curving across the rear mid body about 40-50 mm. 22 x 12 mm nibbled chip to rear base edge. 12 x 8 mm shallowish chip to right base edge. Couple of small flakes to the left base edge. Couple of potters pulls under the base. Some glaze misses and other potters marks. Whilst this is a poor example, it will repair up really nicely as a great shelf filler of this rare and early bottle. Grade: 0 Estimate: $40 - 60
