Ginger Ale Extract / C. R. Gouldring / Prahran / Melbourne. No potters stamp. (Victoria) Demijohn Impressed Handled stoneware demijohn. Tan top. Impressed. 1/2 Gallon. 248 mm. 1900s
Good. Lip repairs, the paint is peeling off which has mostly revealed the original lip, so the chips or flakes can't have been too large prior. Reasonably large flake chip under the front base heel. Small chip beside this. Some discolouration, heaviest to the lower rear. Scuffs and scratches scattered around. Unusual demijohn from an aerated water maker, we have two variations of O'Donnell in this auction prior to Goulding taking this company over. And yes, the name is Goulding, and not Gouldring like incorrectly spelt on this piece. Grade: 6.7 Estimate: $100 - 150
