S. P. Co-operative Coy / Wine & Spirit Merchants / View St / Sandhurst. No potters stamp. (But interestingly it looks like a stamp has accidently been run across the mid back and you can just see the parts of two lines of lettering). (Bendigo, Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Handled stoneware Demijohn. Impressed. Tan Top. 2 Gallon. 295 mm. 1880s
Very Good. (7). But there is a deep 18 x 16 mm chip to the front right top. Very fine 90 mm hairline down the back from near the bottom of the handle. Making marks including a deeper indent at the back base edge. Looks like the stamp has been changed at the shoulder with an underlying stamp obliterated by the S. P. stamp. Interesting that there is also some lettering to the mid back, I can't really read it but definitely some sort of stamp that must have mistakenly been pressed here. Nice large sized Demijohn. Estimate: $50-100
