J. Jack / Glass House Yard / Upr East Smithfield / London Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne shape. Crude double collar top. Salt Glaze. Impressed. 10 oz 200 mm. 1830s-1840s
Repaired. There is a hairline/crack over the full length of the front of the bottle. Apparently there was a small hole at the front somewhere that has also been filled but the overpainting has disguised exactly where that might be. The repair is quite good and leaves a lovely looking bottle. This one was found in Melbourne many years ago. A really early item, the base is great showing where it was stuck to another bottle in the kiln. Nice, early piece. Grade: 0 Estimate: $30 - 40
