Herring & Co / Adelaide / T. Field / Potter / Sydney. (South Australia). Ginger Beer. Cork Stoppered. Dump shape. Cork stoppered. Impressed. Salt Glaze. 10 oz. 163 mm. 1850s
Repaired. (0). A big section of the top has been rebuilt from the front around to the back right and in the deepest part down a few mm into the neck. Very good job but the repair is starting to age a bit. Rest of the bottle is great. There are some chips and marks around the base edge and underneath the base. Good glaze with lots of iron spots and imperfections. Some light scuffs and marks. Some scratches to the finish on the neck and shoulder which has been put on over the repair and more. Nice looking example of a scarce and unusual bottle. Estimate: $250-500
