Sold for A$215

Frankston Springs Co / Registered / Trade (Serpent/Dolphin) Mark / Melbourne / Ginger Beer. Potters stamp: The Bendigo Pottery / Epsom / Bendigo / Pty Ltd. (Victoria) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Two tone, tan top, off white body. Black print. 13 oz. 219 mm. 1900s

Very Good. Small sliver to left lip edge over only 4 x 6 mm and very shallow. Two very small glaze flakes or small spots of wear to rear lip. A few other little nicks around the lip. One or two really minor flakes under base edge are quite possibly potters pulls from making. Some scratches and minor marks to be found. Crude making marks such as a groove near the base. The potters stamp is sideways too. A bit of a chalky appearance, but this is under glaze and as made. A really good example, this is quite rare in this variety with the tan top, the first we have sold. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $200 - 300
