Ballantyne / Ginger / Beer / Penguin. Potters stamp: The Bendigo Pottery / Epsom / Bendigo. (Tasmania) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Two tone, tan top, off white body. Black print. 13 oz. 177 mm. 1910s

Very Good. Shallow upper lip chip or two has been repaired, there is a fine hairline to rear lip. The paint does not come down far, so is mainly upper lip work, and very good at that, only goes half way around. Another fine hairline or two to outer lip. Superb neck glaze colourations. A few tiny flakes under base are likely potters pulls. Discoloured lines to lower body are under the glaze, so as made. A bit of minor glaze wear and some minor scratches. A rare Tasmanian bottle. Grade: 7 Estimate: $200 - 300
