F. Owens' / Genuine / Brewed / Ginger / Beer / Armidale. No potters stamp. (New South Wales) (McRae Collection) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump. Salt Glaze. 10 oz. 173 mm. 1890s
Very Good. Fine crack/hairline running along the mid top, then down to the mid shoulder and then diagonally to the shoulder itself. This is a very fine line and close inspection shows similar sort of spiderweb lines around the body. There is a kiln kiss on the back lip. Shallow 7 x 6 mm chip at the front shoulder and a 6 x 1.5 mm flake at the back shoulder with another fine line running off it. A couple of little body marks, scratches and scuffs. Bottom of the stamp has missed slightly. Great looking example of a scarce bottle. Grade: 7.8 Estimate: $200 - 300
