J. Hives & Son / Dubbo. Potters stamp: Mauri Bros & Thomson Ld / Pinnacle / Sydney. (New South Wales) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump shape. Tan Top. Black Print. 10 oz. 172 mm. 1900s
Very Good. 4 x 4 mm shallow flake to upper right lip. Some wear to other parts of the lip with one or two other little glaze flakes. A little wear in places to the sharp shoulder edge with one or two really small flakes. Couple of tiny base flakes are likely potters pulls from making. A few rusty looking areas of stain, there is some crazing in these areas which is a little rusty as well. Scrape to right base edge is a making mark. A few tiny nicks to base edge seem to be making marks. Some tiny lumps to the body from making show signs of high point wear. A little discolouration to be found. Some scratches and minor marks, but basically a very solid example of a rare bottle with Dubbo on it. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $600 - 800
