Kirra Aerated Water Co. / Brewed / Ginger / Beer / Coolangatta. Impressed: Bendigo Pottery / 23 / Epsom. (Queensland) Ginger Beer Crown Seal "Fat Boy" Bendigo Pottery champagne shape. Greenish tan top. Black Print. 10 oz. 210 mm. 1920s
Very Good. 2 x 1.5 mm fleabite to the lip. 9 x 9 mm chip at the front left base edge. Lower half has some light rust and darker stain, mainly around the back. 5 x 4 mm glaze flake to the mid lower back. Glaze is slightly matt finished in the lower half as well. Great colour to the top - a few of the "fat boy" ginger beers seem to get this colour, notably Cohn Bros. It. would appear that some batches just came out of the kiln this way from Bendigo Pottery. Been over this one with a fine blade, looked inside, and more! A very strong example of a really rare and desirable ginger beer. Grade: 7.9 Estimate: $2000 - 3000
