Mint. Some light crazing around the upper rim and inside the pot. Barely a mark to be seen, this is a stunning and exceptionally rare pot, which was obviously designed to mimic the popular Holloway's Ointment pots. This is a Melbourne pot, belonging to Samuel Nathan Marks who for some reason decided to jumble the letters of his name around to come up with N S Krams. Do not miss the opportunity to add this rarity to your collection! Grade: 9.7 Estimate: $1000 - 1250
