E. Fowler / (Figure 8 or Bow Tie) / Sydney. ("Convict" era Ginger Beer, New South Wales). Ginger Beer. Cork Stoppered. Convict era ginger beer. Grey glaze. Impressed. 10 oz. 185 mm. 1840s
Good. (6.5). There has been a chip to the right side of the top - the droopy part - that has been filled. The repairer has continued a making fold and mark into it so it fits in very well. Some kiln kisses and general marks and wear around. The base edge and base have some overpainting. Inside the bottle looks good so I am presuming chips around here. Stamp is good, it has had some powder in it for highlighting purposes but only a bit is there now. Nice piece of early Australian pottery. Estimate: $200-400
