Catalogue Note

a - Nouvelle-Galles du Sud. A la rigueur anguleuse de la forme - section trapézoïdale et extrémités effilées – répond le décor en chevrons ponctuant la partie médiane de chaque face.
b - Victoria. Sculptée en losange, la face est entièrement gravée de sillons parallèles obliques disposés en registres.
Les poignées sont taillées en creux. Très belle patine d'usage, brun rouge.
