Near Mint. This has the contents still in place. Small chip under base will be a pottery pull. The Melbourne label is stained and torn, it is difficult to read. The main label is also stained, it has some wear and tears, but is more legible. You won't get any better than this pristine example, probably made by the Bendigo Pottery. This is smaller than the one we sold in the previous auction, and larger than the tiny example sold in this auction. Grade: 9.4 Estimate: $100 - 150
