Aboriginal pottery. A “blackfellow’s water-bottle of curious design”

Aboriginal pottery. A “blackfellow’s water-bottle of curious design” is found in the Wollombi district by resident of Watagon Creek, Mr W. Brown. The bottle is 10 inches high, appears to have been fashioned of clay on the end of a small round stick, and burnt until it assumed the consistency of potteryware.
