Billson Brothers. / Trade (Crossed Axes)Mark / B.B / St Kilda / Brewed / Ginger Beer. No potters mark. (Victoria) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Two tone, tan top, off white body. Black print. 13 oz. 220 mm. 1890s
Excellent. Small flake just through the glaze at the front right lip, this is only 2 x 3 mm. A little scrape through the glaze on the upper lip edge around to the right from this. Tiny glaze nick to lower part of lip. A little discolouration to the left side. Glaze miss at left base edge comes up the bottle a bit. Flake under front base heel looks to be a pottery pull from making. Nick or two to sharp base edge. One or two fine scratches. A stunning example, with the early Billson Brothers stamp it is a lot harder to get than standard, with the stamp so low on the bottle and in such great condition, this is a wonderful bottle! Grade: 8.8 Estimate: $$100.00 - $150.00
