Sold for A$740
1 / Emerson, Murtagh & Co / Merchants / Long Gully. No potters stamp. (Victoria) Demijohn Impressed Rounded shoulder. Handled Demijohn. Salt Glaze. 1 Gallon. 335 mm. 1874-1876
Fair. Unusual shape, a very early demijohn. As you will see probably 40% of the top/lip is missing. The side of the handle has deep chips over about 35 x 10 mm. Only light scuffs and marks elsewhere. The first E of Emerson is poorly stamped (you could think the first name was Merson). Really attractive early demijohn that is well worth getting repaired. (Page 18, Victorian Demijohns, Arnold & Bickford, smaller sized example shown) Grade: 5.5 Estimate: $100 - 150
