G. H. Bennett / Trade / (G. H. B within a Flag) / Mark / Richmond. No potters stamp. (Victoria) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Two tone, tan top, off white body. Black Print. 13 oz. 211 mm. 1900s
Good. Rare bottle in this fat bodied open stamp variety! Front lip has a 15 x 16 mm chip. 12 x 4 mm flake to upper right lip. 12 x 13 mm horseshoe hairline to rear lip. Couple of little flakes to lip edge, one from making is glazed over. 18 x 5 mm shallow flake to rear base edge. Little worn groove to left base edge looks to be a scrape from making. Some scratches and the odd little scuff mark. Highly glazed, this was likely made at one the UK potteries. A rare bottle, this would require a relatively straightforward repair, but is perfectly fine as a gap filler as it is. Grade: 6 Estimate: $100 - 150
