3 / Wm. Candy. / (Australian Coat of Arms) / Advance Australia / Fitzroy. No Potters Mark. (Victoria) Pottery Water Filter Salt Glaze. Applied Slab Seals. 3 Gallon. 373 mm without lid. 1880s
Very Good. A fabulous banded filter, one of three Candy varieties in this auction! The lid has a couple of chunks from the outer rim on one side. Body has a small flake next to the 3 on the rim. 5 x 14 mm thin but deep chip to the right lower part of the rim, this is from a crack that runs from the rim through the right handle and down a total of about 140 mm. Couple of very minor flakes to upper rim, and a few fine hairlines that are on the inside, pretty much glaze hairlines and not lengthy. One small flake to the bottom of the lower applied seal below the Z of Fitzroy. A bit of grime. A wonderful piece, these banded filters are quite sought after, especially with a lid. Grade: 7 Estimate: $250 - 350
