1/- / M. ONeil / Wine & Spirit Merchant / Elmore. No potters stamp. (Victoria) Demijohn Impressed Two tone, tan top, off white body. Impressed. 1/2 Gallon. 242 mm. 1900s
Fair. We have sold a few larger varieties before, this is the first smaller one, and also the third different way they have spelt the name O'Neil - which one is correct? We have had ONeil, O'Niell and O'Neill now. Anyway, condition on this one is not the best. Looks OK from the front. Handle has broken off. There are some flakes and a bit of wear around the outer lip. Bottom front neck has a scrape type mark. Discoloured hairline starts next to the 1, goes left across the shoulder and then down the left body over about 170 mm. Some extensive wear around the body, some patches through the glaze are scattered around. A few dark scratches. Some discolouration. Grade: 5 Estimate: $50 - 75
