Exchange / Ware's / Hotel. No makers mark. (South Australia & Western Australia) (Late Kingsley Durdin collection). Beer. Mug. Stoneware Mug. Black Print. Dark and Light tan glazes. Large Size. 110 mm. 1910s-1920s

Very Good. (7.1). Some flakes around the outer rim to front and left have been repaired. There is nothing major here, the inner rim remains untouched and the paintwork does not come far down externally, so looks o have just been a few minor flake repairs. This is barely noticeable Some making marks and minor marks otherwise. Nice example, we have never sold one of these in this large size before. Apparently Ware's Hotel originated in Adelaide but they also opened a Pub in Kalgoorlie during the peak of the early gold rush there. These are from South Australia mainly though with them being found in Adelaide dumps. This is from the late Kingsley Durdin collection. Estimate: $100-150
