WS in a Star // Mashman & Sandison / Victoria / Pottery / Willoughby. (William Starkey, Sydney, New South Wales). Ginger Beer. Impressed. Dump. Salt Glaze. Impressed. 10 oz. 170 mm. 1890s
Excellent. (8.3). Apart from minor wear all the faults appear to be from making. The potter has cut a deep groove all around the bottle just above the base. In an area of about 25 x 15 mm at the back right base are two "chunks" out of the base edge but one has extra pottery stuck to its edge and the upper one has some glaze in it. An extremely fine hairline runs up from the lower chunk into the body. Also a very fine hairline curling on the shoulder. Other little kiln marks and the like all around. Attractive bottle, nice glaze and good stamps. Estimate: $50-100
