To Simmonds & Osborne / When / Empty / Australia & New Zealand. No potters stamp. Demijohn Printed Tan Top. Internal Thread. Black Print. 1 Gallon. 315 mm. 1900s-1910s
Excellent. Quite a dark glaze. Print is crude and a bit weak in places but mostly pretty clear. Really shallow 5 x 4 mm flake to the front lip. A pinprick mark or two. Light surface scuffs and scratches. Looks like just some tiny glaze marks around the base edge. Extremely fine 40 mm glaze line on the lower side. Thin line of wear at the shoulder. A really nice example of a difficult to get Demijohn. Grade: 8.1 Estimate: $200 - 300
