Large X has been deliberately made by the potter into the shoulder. (Victoria & New South Wales) Demijohn Printed Cork top. Tan Lip. Black Print. One Gallon. 324 mm. 1930s
Very Good. Hard to judge as these were obviously seconds from the pottery. The lower section from the bottom of the tan down is unglazed and likely had a wicker basket around it. This lower bit has some scuffs, scratches and dirt but is largely free of any defects other than those made by the potter. Lip has some spots of wear from the handle. The print is missing in parts and poor in other parts. These are very interesting and quite rare and unusual pieces. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $100 - 150
