5 / Wm. Candy. / (Australian Coat of Arms) / Advance Australia / Fitzroy. No Potters Mark. (Victoria) Pottery Water Filter Salt Glaze. Applied Slab Seals. 5 Gallon. 470 mm. 1880s
Very Good. A fabulous banded filter, one of three Candy varieties in this auction! This has no lid. A few flakes around the rim and some minor wear. One rim flake has been filled, it was quite small anyway. Couple of little hairlines as well. Lower body has a few sections of small flakes, you can see these below the Fitzroy slab seal. Spigot has a dint to left from making, there are some glaze flakes to the upper part, and some more to the lower part of the spigot. Just a little bit of wear in places. A great example really! This is too big for Australia Post. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $350 - 450
