Rowlands / and / Lewis. No potters stamp. (Victoria) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump shape. Salt glaze. Impressed. 10 oz. 159 mm. 1860s
Excellent. Firing crack inside the neck. Bit of grime and stain on the surface. Some making marks near the stamp. Left base edge has two marks of 5 x 4 and 6 x 4 mm but they look to be glazed. 6 x 3 mm chip on the heel and a flake around from this. Powder in the impressed stamp to highlight. Just a superb example of this very early bottle from the famous Rowlands (& Lewis) company. Grade: 8.2 Estimate: $400 - 600
