RARE B & O Railroad PEDESTAL EGG CUP 2 Lamberton Centenary China
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:19754258 | Modified Item: No |
Country/Region of Manufacture: United States | Featured Refinements: B&O Railroad China |
This piece is in good to very good condition. There are no cracks. There is no crazing. There are no glaze skips or flea bites. There are no sign...s of wear on the glaze that I can see--no utensil scratches or glaze scuffs. The transfer pattern is a deep cobalt blue with some blurring. Please see the photos for close-up images of the quality of the decorative pattern.
The singular condition issue for this item are 4 chips on the unglazed bottom edge of the pedestal, and they are also visible from the side. The chips are not sharp and have been worn smooth. They are marked in the photos so you can see them from the bottom and from the side views. I personally would not grind them out, but they could be repaired with standard ceramic epoxy.
In spite of these flaws, it is a very decorative and otherwise high quality piece.
I also have a second pedestal cup I am auctioning and will combine shipping if you win both items. Buy-It-Now ships free.
