M. H. Alsop / Trade / (Key) / Mark / Parkes. No potters stamp. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump shape. All white. Black Print. 10 oz. 165 mm. 1900s
Fair. Very rare Ginger beer. Unfortunately all around the top and neck are curved cracks and hairlines. A couple of parts of these cracks on the inner neck look to have some glaze over the edges so possibly these sections were from manufacture. There is a shallow 9 x 5 mm chip to the front base. An 11 x 9 mm very shallow chip to the left side shoulder, a smaller flake just through the glaze to the front shoulder and a couple of other little glaze marks around the shoulder. Glaze is slightly dull with minor wear. A long air bubble has blown out at the surface under the base. Displays OK as is and well worth a professional repair. Grade: 5.4 Estimate: $100 - 150
