Shallow glaze flake to upper part of left shoulder. Two small consecutive shallow glaze flakes to the lower part of the right shoulder. Some other spots of wear to the shoulder edge which are quite minor. Rear body has a chip like mark, this is a pottery blowout, the glaze around this naturally dips showing it was a manufacturing mark. Some glaze misses scattered around including a couple of larger ones near base edge. Some crazed marks to the body. Some scratches and minor marks to the glaze. Pinpricks and making marks scattered around. A very rare ginger beer from Queensland. Grade: 7.2 Estimate: $200 - 250
