W. Ford & Co / 67 Stanston St (note misspelling of Swanston as on cup) / Melbourne // 1 Dram / To Lower Rim. No makers mark. Medicine Dose Cup Ceramic Dose Cup. Black print on white. 1 Dram. 31 mm. 1880s-1890s
Very Good. On first glance appears Excellent but has some spotty glaze flakes or misses to the glaze in the lower half of the cup. There is a tiny 1 x 1 mm flake to the side lip that is just through the glaze. Some minor wear around the base and the transfer missed a bit in parts of the word "Melbourne". Still a lovely example of a rare dose cup with printing error. Grade: 7.5 Estimate: $150 - 200
