Lyceum Mutual Store Co / Wine & Spirit Merchants / Sandhurst. No potters stamp. Demijohn Spirits Handled stoneware demijohn. Tan top. Impressed. 2 Gallon. 388 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Does have a large chip at the front right base over 45 x 25 mm and 12 mm deep at the very edge. The handle has a crack across it, one edge has a little impact mark which has a further hailrine running long the handle edge over about 40 mm. Some discolouration and stain through the glaze in places, mainly lower on the jar. Some minor wear and flakes around the lip. An air bubble has formed on the back shoulder with a hole in the top of it - this is from manufacture. Will clean up much better but displays very well as it is. Quite scarce in this large size and style. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $300 - 400
