W. Leak & Sons / Trade / (Eagle) / Mark / Benalla / Aerated / Ginger Beer. No potters stamp. (Victoria) Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Champagne. Tan Top. Black Print. 10 oz. 220 mm. 1910s
Very Good. Lovely dark neck glaze. Tiny nick through the glaze to front upper lip. Little spot of wear just through the glaze to right upper lip. Some fine crazing. Large kiln kiss to upper front left body. Smaller kiln kiss to lower rear body. The mid base has a 25 x 25 mm area that looks rougher than the rest of the base, almost looks like concrete! This may be a repair for a hole? Small glaze flake or two to body. A few scratches and minor marks. A wonderful looking bottle, assuming the base mark is a repair, being entirely under the base it does not detract. Aerated ginger beer is more like Ginger Ale, just a ginger drink with bubbles added like soda water or lemonade. Brewed Ginger Beer should be properly brewed and bottle fermented. This is the first Aerated Ginger Beer we have sold from W. Leak! Grade: 7 Estimate: $100 - 150
