J. H. Brough & Co / Fine Table Salt / Trade (Swan) Mark / Liverpool. Base Mark: (Dot). Household Jar Applied top. Ribbed. Aqua. 2 Pound. 174 mm. 1880s
Very Good. Natural dip in the right lip. There is a couple of tiny outer lip flakes and one or two nicks as well. Some fine inner lip nibbles. Some usage wear under base. Thin band of stain around some of inner lower body. Some scuffs and scratches, a few sections of wear to some of the ribs. Upper embossing is quite indistinct, this is as made and not due to polishing. I am not 100% sure that this is not polished, but if it is, it is a great job. A lovely, early jar with a huge trade mark of a swan. Grade: 7.6 Estimate: $50 - 75
