Kelly & Co: / Hobart. No potters stamp. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Two tone, tan top, impressed. 13 oz. 212 mm. 1880s

Excellent. Probably made by one of the Tasmanian potters. Possible tiny glaze flake to upper lip. Around from this is another little mark that may be a tiny discoloured flake or impact mark in he shape of a horseshoe, this is over only 4 mm, it is small and may simply be a glaze miss. Front right base edge has a 4 x 3 mm very shallow flake. A few short discoloured scratches to the glaze. Glaze has discoloured black flecks throughout, likely the way it was made. Some light glaze wear throughout. Nice strong impression. Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $250 - 300
