Genuine / Russian Bear's / Grease / (Bear in Forest) / For / Beautifying & Nourishing / The Hair. Pot Lid Bears Grease Black and White Round Lid. 70 mm across. 1850s
Poor. Looks very good, but has been in two pieces and glued back together. Looks to be about a 7 x 5 mm chip to the front leg of the bear that has been filled and painted, this is along the join of the two halves and so it is likely there was a chip there. A thin section has also been filled along the join from here, where there was likely flaking. Some scratches. The underside and outer flange have been painted to blend repair in. You can see a horseshoe hairline to the flange, there looks to be a filled chip or two as well. This still looks good on the shelf. No base with this one. Grade: 0 Estimate: $30 - 40
