M. T. McAlpine / Wine & Spirit Merchant / Shepparton. Potters stamp: Bendigo Pottery. (Victoria) Demijohn Impressed Two tone, tan top, off white body. Impressed. 2 gallon. 375 mm. 1920s

Very Good. There is a repair to the outer front lip which is relatively small. This has cleverly been worked in with the amazingly crude glaze making it barely noticeable. As can be seen, there are extensive glaze drips and misses from making around the ten section, including around the impression. Quite unique really, looks great in my mind. Some fine scratches and minor marks. Some making marks. A great example all round of this exceptionally rare demijohn, possibly the only one known! Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $500 - 750
