Antique ironstone Cold cream pot lid and base
A small Victorian Cold Cream pharmacy pot lid, made of white ironstone pottery and decorated with a black underglaze transfer. An attractive diminutive lid which utilises bold dimensional cross hatched typography, along with a small pictorial rose in the centre and an intricate layered fancy border running right to the edge.
Matched with an antique ironstone pot base for display, which is 1cm smaller in diameter but fits relatively well due to the deep rim of the lid.
Dimensions:
Lid: 6.6cm diameter
Base: 5.6cm diameter
3.7cm tall when lidded
Condition:
There is a bruise scrape on the rim to the right of the M, along with a further small chip on the edge of the flange beneath it. There is also a surface scrape above COLD. There is a further chip on the edge of the flange and one other underneath, along with some other small rough spots and light scrapes.
The matched ironstone base has some crazing, but no damage and is perfect otherwise.
