Sold for A$290
2 / Foy . & . Gibson. Pty. Ltd. / (British Coat of Arms) / Collingwood. No potters stamp. (Victoria). Household. Water Filter. Straight sided cylinder. Cream Glaze. 2 Gallon. 323 mm. 1900s
Very Good. (7.7). No lid. 10 x 2 mm thin flake to upper rear rim. Inner crack down from this has a couple of really thin associated flakes. You can also see this on the outside, it appears as a hairline and is hard to see, then becomes just a glaze hairline and curves down to the mid left body. The applied seals and handles are great, the lower seal with Collingwood on it has a potters blowout over about 3 x 3 mm on its bottom edge near the D. Crudely made item with some minor making splits, lumps and bumps throughout. It is this reason that makes me feel that this is Australian made. Toggle marks around the middle should assist the learned pottery collector in identifying where this piece was made. Regardless, this is a superb example of a rare variation of this filter from this well known company, this is the first we have sold.. Estimate: $300-400
