Internal thread. 10-13 oz. 1. 203 mm. 2. 212 mm.. 1930s
1. Good. Rubber on stopper has perished and is falling apart, therefore I have not pulled stopper all the way out, but the lip looks good. 130 mm dark crack starts under right rear lip and curves down the rear towards the potters stamp, this cannot be seen from the front. A bit of grime and some surface scratches to the highly shiny glaze. 2. Very Good. Quite a different shape to the other example on offer here, this is taller and has a wider body, it would have held more contents without a doubt. Rubber is also perishing on this ones stopper and so we have not checked the inner lip, but it should be fine. From the top of the front lip a crazed glaze hairline spirals around to the rear and right lower neck, for some of this it is discoloured. There are a few other spiral glaze hairlines coming down the top and neck as well and a few up from the base. Predominantly these are from making due to the highly shiny glaze, but they are there. Quite a lovely looking bottle, these are a nice pair of ginger beers showing the differences, yet similar bottles. Grade: N/A Estimate: $$40.00 - $60.00
