3 / Watson & Young / Albury. No potters stamp. (New South Wales) Demijohn Impressed Stoneware Barrel. Salt Glaze with Dark Bands. Impressed. Internal thread to top and tap hole at base. 3 Gallon. 362 mm. 1870s
Very Good. Note the whole top, inside the lip had been broken in and has been restored with the original pieces stuck together. Just some small chips or clay pulls under the base edge. Some very light wear around the middle. The wooden stopper thing in the top is weird but also original. It has a thread and has a hole down the middle for filling or something? Very early piece with just Albury as town name and no Corowa. Have never seen another of these. Stunning item. Grade: 7 Estimate: $4000 - 5000
