Lion Brewery / (Lion) / North Adelaide. No potters mark. (South Australia). Beer. Stoneware. Applied skirt and collar type top. Shouldered. Slab Seal. Salt Glaze. 26 oz. 235 mm. 1880s
Excellent. (8.8). A beauty. Lighter glaze around the lip and dripping down the back. 3 x 2 mm kiln blowout on the back neck. Grooves around the neck and shoulder are from making. Slab seal in great shape with a couple of different coloured spots from the glaze. A slight wear mark or two around. Other little making marks, pimples and iron spots in the glaze. Have checked the inside with a borescope as well and even internally the bottle is very clean with nice glaze. Superb example of this rare and highly desirable bottle. Estimate: $3500-7000
