Sold for A$940

A Miller & Co / Shepparton. No potters stamp. Has a 1 on the top of the lip. (Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Handled stoneware demijohn. Tan top. 1 Gallon. 300 mm. 1910s

Very Good. (7.3). About 30 mm of the outer left lip is painted, looks like there were a couple of shallow flakes repaired in this section, definitely nothing deep. 13 x 5 mm flake to outer front right lip has been repaired, and a 12 x 5 mm flake to outer right lip has also been repaired. These are very good repairs of what was not major damage in the first place. Original handle is in great condition, there is a making split across the inner, upper curve of the handle. Little wear spot to lump on lower left shoulder. Mid left body has another larger making lump which has popped a little. Light scratches to the glaze. Lovely example of a rare demijohn, we have never sold a 1 gallon example before. Estimate: $500-750
