C. R. Moore & Co / Mineral Water / Est. 1862 / (Pigeon) / Daylesford. Potters stamp: Bennett's / Magill S. A. / Potteries / 1 / 2. JB impressed near base. (Victoria). Demijohn. Printed. Two tone, chocolate top, off white body. Black Print. 1/2 Gallon. 288 mm. 1980s
Mint. (9.7). This is not a reproduction as Moore never had demijohns in the early days. It is, however, not an old item. A range of jugs and demijohns were produced with the Moore badge in the 1980s, possibly late 1970s? One can get a decent range of them together, and they are rarely seen these days for sale, so a collectable in their own right. A few minor flakes under the heel are making marks. A few minor scuffs and scratches. Crazing from manufacture. Lovely looking demijohn.. Estimate: $50-75
