Excellent. (8.3). There is a tiny glaze flake to outer lip. A making split where the upper handle meets the body. Fine glaze hairline across the handle at the other end where it meets the body lower down. Tiny under base flake is likely a potters pull. Highly shiny glaze has some minor wear in places and scattered fine scratches. Specks through the glaze from making. This was made at the Timaru Potteries in New Zealand. A great piece of garagenalia, Comprox is a multi-purpose detergent from the large BP company (British Petroleum). This is the same example as we sold way back in Auction 29, Lot 311. Estimate: $100-200
