This is an interesting find from my allotment in South East London....! A 19th Century ceramic pot lid which has survived buried for quite some time, and shows some signs of wear and age consistent with this. This pretty little lid with an attractive transfer design advertising the contents - Gosnell Bros & Co's Universal Cherry Toothpaste The lid measures just over 7.5cm diameter The general condition is pretty good given its age and where it was found, but there are obvious signs of slight damage and wear such as a bit of scuffing and scratching to the design in places plus some slight crazing and odd patch of discolouration. The most notable defect is a large 1.5cm chip to the underside rim, and a few nibbles to the rim edge. A rather lovely little survivor though, and a nice one for the pot-lid collector. Postage: UK - 1st class signed-for £4.45 EU - Int Tracked & Signed £8.70 USA/Rest of World - Int Tracked & Signed £9.75

https://www.bda.org/library/history/PublishingImages/Pages/index/Swanson_BDJ_255.pdf I now realise that my allotment digging may have unearthed something quite a bit more unusual than i'd initially imagined, and in case anyone hasn't seen this - but i can tell that pot lid enthusiasts are obviously very well informed, so it's probably unlikely! - i thought the attached article might be of interest. Pot lid for sale here is the same as example pictured in Fig 2 on page 2.
