EARLY HAND THROWN LONDON SALT GLAZE BEER BOTTLE. 8.3ins tall. An extraordinarily early beer container, probably c. 1790? Fairly light salt glaze but varies considerably, lovely warm golden orange peel effect to shoulder areas. Crude, hand thrown, curved lip, sloping shoulders below with straight sides ending with a protruding bottom edge (rear flake). Impressed below neck DUNBAR/ BEER MERCHANT/ LONDON. Couple of side hairlines (stable) which should bleach out easily. An outstanding and significant early offering.
