Introduce an extraordinary element of early Australian pottery prestige to your collection with this rare vintage salt-glazed character flask.
Hand-thrown in Victoria by the historic Bendigo Pottery as part of an exclusive 1970s limited-edition series, this sculptural stoneware bottle is modeled in the iconic 19th-century "Reform Flask" style. The vessel depicts a beautifully detailed, dignified historical figure, completely blanketed in a rich, multi-toned brown Epsom glaze that pools beautifully within the molded buttons, coat lines, and facial features. Complete with its original natural cork stopper, the original custom-fit foam packaging, a gold-stamped "Bendigo Pottery 1857 Epsom" presentation box, and all of its authentic historical paperwork, this rare collector's piece infuses an undeniable layer of museum-quality provenance and slow-living country class into a Farmhouse office study or a French Provincial display hutch.
Condition: Pristine vintage condition, rating as a true collector's grade find with the stoneware body remaining entirely free from chips, cracks, repairs, or shelf wear. The original presentation box remains structurally stable and firm, showing only light handling wear to its textured surface, and the interior paper documentation remains clean and neatly preserved.
Dimensions: 19cm High x 7cm Wide x 7cm Deep (Box measures 23cm High x 11cm Wide x 10cm Deep)
