2 / Ferguson & Co / Hobart. Potters stamp: H. Kennedy / Barrowfield / Pottery / Glasgow. (Tasmania) Demijohn Impressed Two tone, tan top, off white body. Impressed. Tapered body. 2 Gallon. 370 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Mark to upper lip at first I thought was a glaze miss from making. It may, however, actually be a shallow repair over about 16 x 12 mm, but quite shallow if it is a repair. Couple of tiny glaze flakes to lip. Kiln kiss to side body has had some work done to it. May have had a little fill put in it, has been sanded over slightly for sure. Shallow flake under base. A bit of glaze wear with some scuffs and scratches to be found. Discoloured scratch around base edge. A few pottery blowouts to shoulder area. An interesting demijohn, very few Australian demijohns come in this tapered shape. These come in three size, this being the middle 2 gallon size. Grade: 7.3 Estimate: $150 - 200
