M.E. Abbott / Registered / (Phoenix) / Trade Mark / Launceston. No potters mark. Ginger Beer Impressed Dump shape, two tone, Campbell's Pottery. Impressed. 10 oz. 169 mm. 1880s
Excellent. Tiny bit of glaze wear on the very upper lip over only 10 mm. Tiny 4 x 2 mm flake to right side of badge at base which has a fine hairline travelling 15 mm just above the base edge. There is a kiln kiss to the rear. This is a simply stunning example, the best we have seen of this type of bottle with the stamp being clearly impressed, the glaze drip to the front left shoulder just tops off the beauty of this piece. Grade: 8.9 Estimate: $300 - 400
