1. J. H. Henkes / ven (Delftshaven). 2. Erven Lucas Bols / Het Lootsje / Amsterdam. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Spirits. Gin. Tall handled stoneware gin. Salt Glaze & Brown. 26 oz. 287 & 281 mm. 1860s - 1900s
N/A. (N/A). 1. VG. Well I don't really know how to grade this exactly. It is one of the worst made bottles you will see which is exactly its appeal. Down the front are large lumps of extra clay to one side and big gouges down the other. These are extreme kiln marks. The left shoulder has a big indent again where something has been sitting on it in the kiln. The word Delftshaven is basically non-existent in the stamp. The base has two chips from usage, both are large and about 35 x 16 and 35 x 10 mm. But the main thing is the front which looks so bad, making it good! 2. EXC. Wonderful glaze and a great stamp. Brilliant looking bottle. The whole base edge has small chips but these are mixed in with making marks. (late Ern Taylor Collection). Estimate: $30-60
