Medium round pot lid. Black & White, though looks dark blue and white? No base. 77 mm diameter. 1890s
Very Good. (7.4). No base. On initially taking this out of the box I immediately thought it was blue print, and the vendor on his notes calls it blue as well! Ink back in the day was actually marketed as blue-black quite often, and so this is likely the usual ink, just with slightly more blue than black than normal. Left outer lower flange has a little impact surface flake, from this is a discoloured semicircle crack to outer flange over about 12 x 6 mm. Minor 5 x 2 mm flake through the glaze to the bottom outer flange wall as well. Some fine crazing. Estimate: $100-150
