T. Field & Sons / Sydney / Potters. (New South Wales) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump. Brown Glaze. Impressed. 10 oz. 168 mm. 1870s
Very Good. Might even be better, although this bottle was a bit of a disaster by the potter! The top, back shoulder and back base have scrape type marks made when the clay was soft. These scrapes have left major indents in the bottle, yet they still decided to send it out! Some rust on it and there is a bit of surface wear. The lip has worn and at the back base are two chips of 10 x 8 and 8 x 7 mm. Something of a shocker which of course is its appeal! Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $40 - 60
