J. O. Ladd, / Adelaide. / Hindmarsh / Pottery. (South Australia). Ginger Beer. Impressed. Dump shape, impressed, salt glaze. 10 oz. 169 mm. 1860s - 1870s
Good. (6.4). Bigger chips to the front lip of 10 x 8 and 5 x 5 mm but the rest of the lip is nibbled and worn all around. Shoulder is similar being chippy and worn the whole way around. Main stamp has some powder in it for display. Bit of wear all around the body. 16 x 15 mm body chip to the lower front left is a kiln blowout around an iron spot. Left base edge has chips of 10 x 7 and 8 x 7 mm. Other smaller flakes around the base and like the lip and shoulder there is glaze wear all around. A group of 3 or 4 short but deep scratches to the lower mid back. Solid example of a rare and unusual early South Australian ginger beer. Estimate: $1000-2000
