D. Whyte & Co / Wine & Spirit Merchants / High Street / Echuca. 1 in the side shoulder. No potters stamp. (Victoria) Demijohn Impressed Handled Demijohn. Salt Glaze. Quart. 204 mm. 1870s-1880s
Fair. The handle has been poorly and crudely rebuilt. Crudely filled 30 x 9 mm chip to the side lip. A 40 mm area along the back lip has been overpainted, not sure how deep the chip filled here is. The front left lip has a smaller filled chip that appears to be about 14 x 8 mm. There is a little bit of wear around the middle. A flake or two at the base edge. Lovely early stamp with a large crude impression. Great little Demijohn, well worth a more professional repair. Grade: 5.9 Estimate: $100 - 150
