Orme / Keigwin to lip. Shoulder: Orme / Keigwin / & Co Ltd / Sydney. No potters stamp. (New South Wales) Demijohn Printed All White. Black Print. 2 Gallon. 390 mm. 1920s
Excellent. A little minor wear to inner lip edge. Shallow glaze flake or two to upper lip. Interesting lip impression is also inked. In fact the shoulder is also both impressed and inked. Interestingly, the shoulder is glazed only on the half that is impressed, it is unglazed at the rear and the rest of the body, as this would have been in a complete wicker basket with only the impression showing. Black splotches of ink from manufacture in places. Some discolouration in places. Some scratches and minor marks. Quite a great example of an unusual demijohn. Grade: 8.6 Estimate: $150 - 200
