A. Deans & Co / Wine & Spirit Merchants / Ararat. No potters mark. (Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Two tone, tan top. Impressed. 1 Gallon. 311 mm. 1900s
Excellent. (8). This still has the wicker in place, this has deteriorated a fair bit with some missing parts, for instance there is no base. I would not be carrying this piece with the wicker handle! Quite dirty and grimy throughout, this will clean off. Little lump to upper lip from making, there is a small flake to inner lip. A few tiny nicks to outer lip. Body is very dirty under the wicker, from what we can see it looks undamaged under here, but without removing the wicker we can't say for sure that there isn't something hiding, though we would suggest if there is it would be minor. Base edge is really good with only some making marks. There is one flake, this may be a clay pull from making? Quite a hard demijohn to get from the Grampians region of Victoria.. Estimate: $400-500
