Presenting a superb Australian Pottery Melbourne Centenary Jug. This fine example is the smaller of two sized jugs produced by Hoffman Ware (Melrose) in 1934 to commemorate the Centenary of the European Settlement of Melbourne. Raised profiles of John Pascoe Fawkner and John Batman appear to alternate sides of the jug below banner reading "Melbourne Centenary 1934". The famous Batman quote "This will be the place for a village" appears in raised lettering between the two men. This piece is finished in a lovely glossy golden honey glaze, with a splattering of darker glaze to the stylishly shaped handle. SIZE: This Melbourne Centenary jug stands approx 120mms tall, measures 85mms in diameter excluding the pouring lip and handle and measures 120mms in width from the tip of the pouring lip to the edge of the handle. CONDITION: This piece is presented in excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks or repairs. This piece has been very well cared for and presents beautifully. MARKS: This piece is beautifully marked to the base with a black "Hoffman Ware" stamp.
