Description:
A William Adams & Sons Ltd Melbourne centenary jug, circa 1834, edition 9/200, 25 cm high. Note: This jug, made by William Adams & Sons Ltd, was one of a range of souvenirs produced in 1934-35 to commemorate the centenary of white settlement of Victoria. It shows the change in the landscape of Melbourne over 100 years, picking up the theme of progress from wilderness to urbanization which was the predominant theme of the centenary. As the certificate guarantees, only 200 of these jugs were produced, as one of the more expensive souvenirs of the centenary of the European settlement of Melbourne.
