Ipswich Aerated Water Co. / East St. / Ipswich. Potters mark: R. Fowler / Sydney. Ginger Beer Cork Stoppered Dump shape. Blob top. All White, black print. 10 oz. 175 mm. 1910s
Excellent. Note that this bottle has never been in the ground. The cork in the top is likely the original and the vendor received this bottle from an old lady who claimed to have been the one that drank the contents when originally purchased from the factory! There is an incredibly shallow glaze flake to the front right lip that is 5 x 4 mm. On the back lip is a sort of glaze scuff but could well be from manufacture. Also some small black marks and spots of stain around the lip. Shoulder has some very light wear with a couple of extremely shallow flakes to the right and rear. Light scuffs and marks to the body. Lovely clean stamp, superb example of this bottle. Grade: 8.9 Estimate: $200 - 250
