Very Good. (7.5). These are known to have a blue overglaze wash on them and a gold band. This one doesn't have either and likely they have just been dissolved with stain but nonetheless looks good as a black & white example. Some crazing over the face. Edges and underside have crazing to hairlines with some stain. 10 x 4 mm chip to the bottom of the flange on the right edge. 5 x 3 mm chip at the bottom of the flange to the lower right. Nice looking lid actually used when Crundall operated in Flinders street Melbourne. Estimate: $150-300
