M. Arthur (Dot is superscript, McArthur). (Sydney, New South Wales) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Squat dump shape. Grey/Brown. 10 oz. 157 mm. 1840s
Very Good. A little beauty this, very dumpy with an oversized top. Nice strong stamp which has been highlighted with some chalk. Around the left half of the base are half a dozen or so small chips. A few overlap but nothing too major. A bit of wear. Quite a dull surface and has lots of fingerprint marks and the like from the potter. A really nice example of this "Convict" era ginger beer. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $600 - 800
