Excellent. (8.5). 25 x 15 mm kiln kiss to upper right, this is part chip, part lump. 6 x 2 mm sliver to front left base edge, 4 x 3 mm chip to left rear base edge, these are both likely potters pulls from making. Minor discoloured patch or two. The copper seal type thing that comes with this is missing the bottom section, this has some green verdigris and minor dints and marks. A great example, I believe these were made at the Bendigo Pottery. We have a range of Fergusson's in this auction. Estimate: $100-150
