Leak (E in Italic font, 4.5 mm high stamp, other letters are 4 mm) ("Convict" Ginger Beer, Sydney, New South Wales). Ginger Beer. Impressed. "Convict" era ginger beer. Salt glaze. Impressed. 10 oz. 180 mm. 1830s-1840s
Very Good. (7). Large but shallow, flat chip under the heel. This covers about 57 x 22 mm at its widest dimensions. This can barely be seen when sitting on the table, except for one spot where the chip comes up a tad under the K of Leak, this visible part is only about 8 x 2 mm, though this is only to the flat chip which may be another 1 - 2 mm. A few other minor flakes to the heel. Pretty much spotless otherwise, this is a nice example! One iron spot to the side. The L of Leak is poorly struck. Interesting variation with the E being italicised. Great piece of history. Estimate: $1500-2000
