(Large shield stamp) / G. J. Pearce / Trade (G.J.P. Script Initials) Mark / Devonport. Very difficult to read Pearson / Chesterfield impressed stamp at shoulder. Made in England printed on base. (Tasmania) Demijohn Printed Handled Demijohn. Tan top. Black Print. Gallon. 318 mm. 1950s+
Near Mint. Important to note this is not an original old demijohn. Similar to the Bronger Bros demijohn we sold in Auction 11 (Lot 407) this demijohn has clearly been made well after the originals. We don't know why but the Pearson pottery seems to have made these later printed demijohns as some sort of tourist item. There is crazing throughout but essentially this is as it was made. Very interesting item. A nice looking piece. Grade: 9.4 Estimate: $$200.00 - $250.00
