A. Horton Crundall / Cold Cream / of / Roses / Flinders Street, / Opp. Brighton Railway Station, Melbourne. Pot Lid Cosmetics Round lid. Black on white with Pink overglaze and gold border. 73 mm diameter. 1880s
Poor. Is in two pieces (in fact three pieces as there is a tiny triangle piece also at the flange). Pieces are quite clean. Pink overglaze is faded and patchy. Large parts of the gold border are still fine. A couple of extra chips around the bottom of the flange. Very rare Melbourne pot lid that is well worthy of professional restoration.
