Very Good. (7.4). This company started in Bendigo in 1897, advertising seems to have ceased in 1918, however they must have kept operating after that. The potters stamp on this I believe to be 1950s, maybe slightly earlier? A fabulous piece of advertising, I haven't seen a similar item before. No saucer with this one. There is a fine hairline from the front rim, down about 25 mm on the inside, the outside you can only really see this for the first 5 mm where it is just slightly nibbled. A few spots of grime. Great item. Estimate: $30-50
