Excellent. What a superb lid, you can see two steam ships in the background behind the detailed lighthouse. This is from R F Kennedy of Warrnambool, a rare and highly desirable pot lid. One tiny rust spot above the G of Regal. Tiny scratch to S of Paste. The outer rim out from this scratch has a tiny glaze nick, this can barely be felt, let alone seen. Another equally tiny nick to outer rim at bottom of lid. The lower flange where it meets the base has two or three very small flakes, the largest of which is only 4 x 1 mm and very shallow. Couple of tiny rust spots. Some minor surface scratches and crazing. Comes with a base, base has a few little flakes and minor hairlines. It is a bit discoloured as well. Don't miss this beauty, one of the best! Grade: 8.5 Estimate: $2500 - 3500
