J. Ladd / Brewed / Magnet (Magnet) Brand / Ginger / Beer / Manufactured at College Park. Potters Stamp: Bendigo Pottery / 27 / Epsom. (South Australia) Ginger Beer Crown Seal Two tone, blue top. Off white body. Black print. Round shouldered. 10 oz. 169 mm. 1920s
Good. Restoration to the crown. Some chips have been filled and coloured, there is definitely still some of the original crown in place as I have scraped off part of the paintwork to the rear lip which reveals the original blue underneath. Right rear body has a large filled section of about 40 x 13 mm. This has likely filled a large and deep kiln kiss type mark. Small filled flake next to this. A few scratches. Some crazing throughout. Small discoloured spot or two. Glaze wear and scratches to rear shoulder. A superb rarity. Looks great on the shelf from the front. The lip restoration is OK, so looks fine as is. The kiln kiss repair is poor and needs to be touched up, but being at the rear does not detract too much. A unique bottle, the only company to use this shape in Australia! Grade: 6 Estimate: $500 - 750
