Ye Old English / (Shield) / E. Rowlands / Proprietary / Limited / Ballarat, / Sydney & / Melbourne / Ginger Beer // Rowlands'. No potters stamp. (Victoria & New South Wales). Ginger Beer. Cork Stoppered. Champagne. Tan Top. Black Print. 10 oz. 228 mm. 1910s
Very Good. (7.6). Small patch of glaze wear to the front right lip edge. Little glaze flake to right of this. Couple of other little spots of surface wear to the lip. Some scratches and scuffs around the tan neck and shoulder. Dint to left base edge is from making. A bit of fine rusty looking discolouration near the shoulder. Has a white chalky appearance throughout, as made. Not sure which pottery this was made at but there are a few Melbourne region ginger beers that have this similar appearance from making, one of the lesser potteries from Melbourne would be my guess. The print is a little faded. Estimate: $50-75
