Sold for A$55

Boston Blacking Coy. / of Aus. Pty. Ltd. / Abbotsford, Vic. Impressed stamp: The Bendigo Pottery / Epsom / Bendigo. (Victoria). Demijohn. Printed. Handled wide mouth Demijohn. Tan Top. Black Print. Half Gallon. 260 mm. 1910s

Very Good. (7.5). 10 x 6 mm spot of wear to lower handle at rear, this is only just through the glaze. Similar mark over 9 x 3 mm just to right of this on the shoulder at the rear. The left rear shoulder has a couple of larger patches of wear through the glaze, these are 15 x 8 mm and 15 x 4 mm. One or two tiny spots of wear to base edge. A few more to the body which are very minor. Some minor scratches. Tight crazing throughout from manufacture. A lovely example, we have sold several of these in the past but the vast majority have been the East Richmond variety and not this early Abbostford example, of which this is only the second example that we've sold.. Estimate: $100-150
