Regal Cherry / For beautifying and preserving the teeth / Trade Mark / (Lighthouse) / Lumen et Vita / Prepared by The Regal Perfumery Co / Tooth Paste. (R. F. Kennedy, Warrnambool, Victoria). Pot Lid. Tooth Paste. Large round lid with raised rim. Multi-coloured. 80 mm diameter. 1880s-1890s
Good. (6.6). Repaired chip at about 8 o'clock on the face. Includes a little section of the border and the bottom right of the first T of Tooth. Shallow filled flange chip of around 15 x 4 mm at around 6 o'clock, actually a couple of other minor filled spots and a flake around the flange. Some scratches to the left of the lighthouse. The print is very nice and bright. Most of the gold border looks good apart from over the first chip and either side of that, probably had some touching up though. Some crazing and other minor marks. A bit of stain in patches. Wonderful looking lid, could probably use an updated repair but very nice as it is. An all time classic multicoloured pictorial pot lid. Estimate: $750-1500
