H. E. Stevenson / Trade Mark / Manly. Potters Stamp: Mashman / Chatswood. (New South Wales) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Salt glaze, impressed. 13 oz. 177 mm. 1880s
Excellent. Front lip has a kiln kiss over 11 x 7 mm. Small flake under left base heel is likely a pottery pull. A little grime in places. Really nothing in the way of more recent damage, there are plenty of crude making marks though. A lump to the left near the base is from making, another lump to right near base then at the rear is a larger lump from making which has making splits amongst it. There is even a lump under the base from making. Another at front shoulder. A little fine wear around base edge and a few tiny flakes. A wonderful example really of quite a hard to get Sydney bottle. Grade: 8.1 Estimate: $$150.00 - $200.00
