Alexandra Tooth Paste / Matchless for beautifying and preserving the teeth & gums / (Alexandra) / London / Dr Ziemer's. Pot Lid Tooth Paste Black print on large flat white lid. Gold border. 95 mm diameter. 1890s
Good. Looks perfect, but has had one of the best restorations that I have seen. About a third of the rim from just left of 12:00 through to just past 3:00 has been restored. Being a thin rim, this is prone to damage. This does not appear to encroach onto the print at all, but that section of the gold band has been replaced. Part of the restoration process has been to reglaze this, the product used has been used throughout to blend in the edges. A superb rarity in this large size, a great restoration job of which looks like it was only on the rim, with no print effected, although it is hard to tell. This does not come with a base. Grade: 6 Estimate: $200 - 300
