Presented here for consideration is a C.J. Dennis Bendigo Toby Jug. This Toby is glazed in the rich Borax colour-way that imparts a dark and very earthy hue. It comes with the original promotional flyer and the numbered certificate that it was sold with. There is also a photocopy of the “Statement Of Close Of Edition” by William J.B. Derham the then Managing Director of Bendigo Pottery (see below). Impressed into the underside of this Jug is a makers’ mark and the number 1157/1200. Underneath the makers’ mark is the designers’ signature.

In December 1973 the Melbourne artist, and political Cartoonist, John Firth designed this serries of Toby jugs that where to be glazed in a Borax glaze or a Rockingham glaze. The serries originally consisted of 6 characters, Sir Robert Menzies, Sir Donald Bradman, Henry Lawson, Albert Namatjira, Kingsford Smith and Ned Kelly. C. J. Dennis was added to the serries at a later date to commemorate the centenary of his birth which was on 7th September 1976. The C.J. Dennis Toby’s was to be made in an edition limited to only 1200, but due to very poor sales this amount where never made. I have a Statement Of Close Of Edition dated 3/10/73 and signed by William J.B. Derham the then Managing Director of Bendigo Pottery. In this statement Derham states that on the 3/10/73 he smashed the moulds thus terminating the production run of the C.J. Dennis Jug at only 658 pieces. I know that some people will have Toby’s numbered above this number, the reason for this is that many of the Toby’s where damaged during firing, this is especially so with the one in the Borax colour-way. The borax glaze had to be fired at much higher temperature so there where many breakages. The manufacture of the Toby’s in the Borax colour-way was eventually discontinued for this reason. I’m sure that Bendigo intended to full in the missing numbers at a later date, but as the run was not fully subscribed this was never done. I must finish by saying that Mr Derham would not have lied in this statement.

Dimensions

Dennis stands a proud 12 cm (4.75”) tall.

Condition

It is in AS NEW condition; there are no chips, cracks, stains repairs and NO crazing.

This is a very sought after series of Toby jugs, of C.J. Dennis there where only ever 658 of these produced. These are collectable now, but over the coming years these are going to soar in value as there are very limited numbers of these.

This is a great little investment. Hit the BUY IT NOW tab and make sure this delight cannot be pilfered out from under your nose.
