W.I. Thrower / Trade (Elephant) Mark / Launceston. No potters mark. Ginger Beer Impressed Dump shape, two tone, blue top, Campbell's Pottery. Impressed. 10 oz. 158 mm. 1880s
Excellent. A most unusual form, this seems to have a shorter neck than normal and a less blobby top. A superb piece, the blue neck glaze is very uneven, there are even a couple of blue patches lower on the body. There are a couple of manufacturing flakes under the base (the glaze partially enters these and the pottery has a blobby appearance). At the left front base is a very shallow glaze flake, 3 x 4 mm which is very hard to see. There are some crude pottery marks throughout adding to the beauty of this amazing piece! Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $350 - 450
