W. Swinton & Sons / Merchants / Warrnambool. No potters stamp. (Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Handled stoneware Demijohn. Impressed. Tan Top. 1 Gallon. 305 mm. 1900s
Good. (6.4). The original handle has been broken and just simply glued back in to place. Mid handle on one side has a chip of 19 x 7 mm. On the other side of the handle at the base where it has been glued back there is a chip over 15 x 6 mm. Front top has a big 25 x 11 mm chip and a 9 x 5 mm chip. Heavy dark band of wear around the bottom just up from the base. Higher up the body are similar bands of wear but not as consistently all the way around. Quite dirty and grimy in general. Base edge is good with just some manufacturing indents. Little felt feet glued on the bottom to stop it scratching a shelf. Rare Demijohn from the South West of Victoria. First example from this company we have had through. Estimate: $400-800
