Excellent. What a stunning little demijohn! From the Working Man's Club in Mildura, this is a lovely patent demijohn with an unusual internal thread spigot which sticks out from the jar some distance (35 mm). Some glaze misses to lip from making and a little crazing from making. Some spots of paint to be found which scratches off (why would somebody ever paint such a piece?) Couple of glaze misses to shoulder edge. Mark below rear shoulder is another glaze miss. Couple of dark scuff marks to rear. Pottery pull under left base edge. A few little flakes to base edge. Some scratches to be found. Spigot has no damage either. What a great piece! Grade: 8.3 Estimate: $$1,000.00 - $1,500.00
