Billin / Adelaide. Potters Stamp: John Cliff / & Co / Lambeth. (South Australia) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Impressed. Blue Lip. Blue Writing. 10 oz. 159 mm. 1870s
Good. Small impact chip to upper lip. Much like the non blue print example, there is wear around the entire lip with many glaze flakes to the blue part as well. In this case, several, but not all of them are glaze misses. Some flakes around the shoulder. Hairline down most of the rear. Small nibbled parts below potters stamp. Flake under base to right of this. Small flake to left base edge. Couple of little glaze pops to body. Looks a little yellow, but is likely the way it was made. The rarest of the variations in this auction with the blue print, quite a nice looking piece really. Grade: 6.2 Estimate: $75 - 100
