1. Excellent. I think NCP stands for National Ceramic Products, with John Elischer involved, but that seems to be Melbourne, not Sydney. I have not looked into it much at all though. Apart from some grime and a few scratches, not much to report on this one. 2. Near Mint. This is from the Modern Ceramic Products pottery in Sydney. Some grime. A few scratches to be found. Glaze pooling under the heel has been ground in manufacture. Grade: N/A Estimate: $40 - 60
