Pot Lid Pot Ointment Pot. Black print on white. 40 mm. 1840s-1850s
Good. A bit finer and lighter than the typical Goldfields found Family Ointment pots. The back base edge has a 10 x 4 x 1 mm chip. There are a couple of other minor fleabites around the base edge. Under side of the front lip has a 3 x 0.5 mm flake. Some discolouration and crazing in places. The middle of the pot has some expansion cracks running horizontally - these have glaze rounded over the edges and are from manufacture. Could use a little clean up but a nice example of this quite difficult to obtain, early Holloways Pot. Grade: 6.6 Estimate: $60 - 80
