The Melbourne / Cherry Tooth Paste. / Bowen & Co., / 358, Collins Street & 51, Swanston Street. / Melbourne. Pot Lid Cherry Tooth Paste Rectangular pot lid, black & white 93 mm x 60 mm. 1890s
Excellent. An outstanding rectangular Australian pot lid. Has typical overall fine crazing. Underside near-perfect ! For accuracy, there is a small glaze flake on the right-hand-side of the face and a couple of pinprick nibbles to the outer edges of the lid. There are a couple of tiny glaze misses from manufacture that can only be seen on close inspection. A nicely fitting base, with just a minor amount of wear. A stunning example, amazingly clean and shiny. This will make a fantastic addition to someone's pot lid collection ! Grade: 8.4 Estimate: $1500 - 2000
