G. H. Herring, / Adelaide. / 1840 // Hindmarsh / Pottery. (South Australia). Ginger Beer. Impressed. Dump. Salt Glaze. Impressed. 10 oz. 181 mm. 1860s
Excellent. (8.0). Double glaze flake to outer left lip, this is shallow and minor. Some stain with a bit of dullness down the left and back. 18 x 5 mm chip on the back shoulder has been roughly filled and coloured. Main stamp is really good. 1840 is the establishment date, not the date of the actual bottle. Hindmarsh pottery stamp is weak at the front base edge. Super example of a very rare and desirable bottle. Estimate: $2000-4000
