Sold for A$55

R. J. Moorhead / Wine & Spirit Merchant / Sandhurst. No visible potters stamp. (Bendigo, Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Stoneware Demijohn. Impressed. Salt Glaze. 2 Gallon. About 385 mm what is there. 1860s - 1870s

Poor. (0). Well it is missing the top. Interestingly the wear and grime suggests this one has been used for a long time without the top! Base of the wicker has gone. Dirt and grime. This is a scarce and unusual early Bendigo demijohn. Certainly worth repairing but given its obvious use like this maybe just worth preserving as it is. Estimate: $50-100
