Top Brand / (Spinning Top) / Trade Mark / Adelaide Chemical & / Fertilizer Co Ltd. No potters mark. Demijohn Impressed Salt Glaze. Slab Seal to shoulder, impressed underneath. 1 Gallon. 307 mm. 1900s

Good. Some dark crud internally. The handle has some extensive chipping to one side over about 40 x 20 mm. This is at least in part from making, with some built up glaze and odd making marks on the edge of this. 8 x 10 mm chip to right rear base edge. The oddest large making mark to the front mid body, a large piece of slag and a couple of chips on either side over a total of a mere 80 x 40 mm approximately. 20 mm hairline to right of this, 40 mm hairline to the left of it. In this vicinity the demijohn is pushed in as well. The glaze above this is a mottled grey colour, it changes to a different mustard colour below this large mark. What a unique piece of pottery! Grade: 6 Estimate: $50 - 75
