Murphy Bros / Merchants / Kerang. No potters stamp. Demijohn Impressed Two tone, tan top, impressed. 1 Gallon 305 mm. 1900s
Very Good. Double flake to front left lip over a total of about 18 x 8 mm, this is quite shallow and easily fixed. Hairline crack to upper lip comes down the right lip over about 25 mm. Tiny nick to handle. Body is not glazed, would have been within a wicker basket. The left lower body has a horizontal mark over about 120 mm that I first thought was a scratch but may actually be a fine hairline. A few flakes and little chips under the base, mostly from making. The body is quite stained and has some scratches. A rare country Victorian demijohn. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $200 - 250
