Emmett / Hobart Town. Potters stamp: Stephen Green / Imperial / Potteries / Lambeth. (Tasmania). Ginger Beer. Cork Stoppered. All white. Impressed. 10 oz. 168 mm. 1840s
Excellent. (8.2). Wonky and reasonably thin lip, this is the way it was made, there is a little glaze over flake to the front li as well from making. Tiny glaze nick to upper neck. lower neck has a little glaze flake type mark, this is very minor and possibly a making mark. A bit of very fine wear to shoulder with a tiny glaze flake or two. A few really little flakes and nicks around the base edge and heel, barely worth mentioning. Little glaze misses and making marks around the body. A few little spots of glaze wear and little nicks. Good impression, little nick to an E is likely a potters blowout, and a little scrape or two next to the letters. Little bit of very fine glaze wear around the body. Great example overall of this early and very sought after Hobart Town ginger beer. Estimate: $750-1000
