Henry Wilding / (Cross with Stars) / Superior / Queenscliff / Ginger Beer. Potters Stamp: The Bendigo Pottery / Epsom / Bendigo / Coy Ltd. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne shape, cork top. Tan top, white body, black print. 13 oz. 222 mm. 1890s
Excellent. Could well be the best example around of this extremely rare ginger beer. Has a little fold and nick in the back inner lip over an area of about 8 x 3 mm but there is some shininess to this suggesting at least part of it was part of manufacture anyway. At the back base is a very shallow 12 x 4 mm flake. Little bit of crazing in the tan glaze at the top. Some minor discolouration and the like. Stunning, rare ginger beer in (as the trade mark suggests) Superior condition. Grade: 8.9 Estimate: $1000 - 1250
