Sold for A$120
1/- / D. Whyte & Co / Wine & Spirit Merchants / Pall Mall / Bendigo. (Victoria). Demijohn. Impressed. Two tone, tan top, off white body. Impressed. 1/2 Gallon. 238 mm. 1900s
Very Good. (7.2). There is a lip repair to the outer right lip covering about 25 mm, but it was not large, only up to 5 mm at worst in the other dimension. Small glaze flake to outer front lip. Original handle is in great condition with just one small spot of wear. Little glaze nick to left shoulder. 20 x 23 mm kiln kiss to right rear upper body near the handle. Left base edge has a little nibbled flake type mark, possibly from making. Some fine crazing from manufacture. Patch of surface wear next to W of Wine. Lovely example overall. Notice the 1 used in place of an I in Wine, and the mish mash of type used for Spirit. Interestingly, the same variation of odd lettering types was on a previous example that we sold! Estimate: $75-100
