Excellent. A STUNNING bottle! Upper left lip has a tiny glaze flake, coming from this is an extremely fine 10 mm glaze hairlline. A couple more really tiny glaze flakes around the sharp upper lip edge. Rough patch of pottery below the potters stamp from making, there is a small flaked section below this over 10 x 4 mm, this is almost certainly from the making process as well and is quite shallow. Crude kiln kiss type scrape mark to right lower side of transfer from making. A little bit of discolouration. Some light scratches to the glaze. A superb example of Bendigo Pottery, these double dipped ginger beers are becoming increasingly popular, this is a particularly nice example. Grade: 8.9 Estimate: $100 - 150
