No potters stamp. (Victoria) Demijohn Printed Internal Thread. Orange/Tan lower section. Tan Top. Half Gallon. 275 mm. 1920s
Excellent. Really unusual glaze with what is bascially an orange lower section and then a darker tan top. All original with glaze under the base and so forth. At first though it was similar to a Loy Bros Demijohn we sold back in Auction 29 (Lot 315) but this is quite a different glaze to this one. Minor wear and scratches. A line down the side appears to be from making. But this is all about the colour of this one. In fact the glaze is very similar to a number of Australian made bed warmers that we have seen. Very interesting piece and definitely rare in this colour form. Grade: 8 Estimate: $400 - 600
