H J Wallis / New Wharf / HHR. No potters mark. Ginger Beer Impressed Dump shape, salt glaze ginger beer, impressed. 10 oz. 170 mm. 1840s
Very Good. Minor glaze wear to the upper lip, with one black scrape mark. There is some glaze wear to the sharp shoulder with a few small glaze flakes as well. As is standard with these bottles, there are some chips under the base, at the front base is a flake chip about 40 mm long, to the left of this is another 25 mm long, then another 15 mm long, three more around from this are 7 mm long, one of which is on the side of the bottle, the next one is 23 mm and then finally a 5 x 4 mm flake on the side again with a smaller one next to it. These are all on the shallow side and most of them are on the underside of the bottle. There are a few scratches to the body and some minor wear. Please look at the photographs for a better appreciation. This is an extremely rare and desirable bottle from Tasmania. Grade: 7 Estimate: $1250 - 1500
