Sold for A$4,100
Bronger Bros. / Registered / (Handshake) / Trade Mark / Penrith // 2 on back shoulder. Impressed at shoulder: Pearsons / 6 / Chesterfield. (New South Wales). Demijohn. Printed. Internal thread with original stopper. Deep treacle coloured upper glaze, dark cream coloured lower glaze. Black print. Spigot hole. 2 gallon. 410 mm with stopper. 1960s
Mint. (9.5). Dirt on the base. A couple of ink smudges in the glaze. Not a lot else to report. We have previously sold a smaller example of these. It seems these and a lot of other similar ware were made in the 1960s after a change of owners at Pearsons pottery. I have also read that with the new owners they started producing a lot of products for Pubs and Clubs so perhaps they dug out these old stamps and logos to make things like this as display pieces? Either way these were certainly made well after Bronger Bros had stopped operating. Still a fabulous display item. Estimate: $400-800
