Dahlke's / Filter & Pottery Coy / Melbourne. (Victoria) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump. Salt Glaze. Impressed. 10 oz. 165 mm. 1870s-1880s
Good. Large chip under the left base of about 30 x 25 mm. Some other small nibbles and the like around the rest of the base edge. Very pimply glaze with lots of small firing blowouts all over. Scratches down the back. 8 x 8 mm chip at the back shoulder. 8 x 6 mm chip at the left lip and then all along the top of the front lip is an indent that looks like a kiln kiss where another bottle or something has been resting on this one when fired. Bottom half of the stamp has almost missed the bottle. Crudely made and an interesting colour for a Dahlke. Grade: 6.8 Estimate: $30 - 50
