Arnold Bros / 409 Brunswick St / Fitzroy / Drink Telegraph / Wines & Spirits. Potters Stamp: Hoffman Co Ltd / Pottery Works / Brunswick. (Victoria) Demijohn Impressed Two tone, tan top. Impressed. 1 Gallon.
329 mm. 1900s
Good. Tiny lip chip! OK, just kidding, it is a little larger than tiny. About one third of the lip is missing, roughly 46 x 25 mm. Pottery blowout at top of potters stamp which is just below the lip at the top of the neck. Crack across the top of the handle. Rust stain to rear. Very crudely made with lumps, bumps, pottery blowouts and the like all over, there is not much in the way of damage apart from the lip, which would be a straight forward repair. One of several variations from this company, they often had North Melbourne on their demijohns, this is a little different. Made at the Hoffman Pottery, this is a nice piece. Grade: 6 Estimate: $50 - 75
