5 impressed near top / G. Wilmot / Hop Beer / Colac (in laid on ribbons). No potters stamp but attributed to Bendigo Pottery. (Victoria). . Demijohn. Barrel. Majolica Barrel. Laid on ribbons. Internal thread top with majolica stopper. 5 Gallon. About 460 mm without stopper. 1890s - 1900s
Very Good. (7.8). First one we have heard of in this size. This now makes three different sizes available in these Wilmot majolica barrels. Has a 38 x 12 mm chip to the top rim at the back. About half of the tap surround is broken off back to the level of the barrel itself. Crazing. Some thin chips/making marks to the edges of the ribbons. Stopper seems original but does not engage the thread without something wrapped around it. Sensational item! Estimate: $7500-15000
