M. E. Abbott / (Phoenix) / Trade Mark / Launceston. No potters mark. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Two tone, tan top, off white body. Impressed. 10 oz. 172 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Harder to get variation without the word Registered, this is made by one of the Tasmanian potteries. Couple of minor flakes and wear to inner lip. Remains of rust to lip, there may be a small, fine horseshoe hairline under this? 10 x 7 mm flake chip to right rear shoulder edge. Quite a different bottle to normal, the trade mark is different, the Abbott writing is larger and the remainder of the writing is smaller, with the word Registered missing as mentioned earlier. Nice bottle. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $200 - 250
