Pot Lid: 'HP & CR Taylor, Philadelphia / Taylor's Saponaceous Compound'

Description:  Stunning and large early American pictorial pot lid with detailed and classic image of man shaving in front of mirror. Scarce version with extra borders. Excellent quality print. 

Era:  c1870-80's  


Diameter:  95 mm 

Condition (please see detailed photo's):  Good. Just 4 tiny and very insignificant pinprick fleabites on the very back edge that really are barely noticeable (and certainly don't detract) and a very unusual small (10mm x 3mm) in-manufacture blue glaze addition/flaw on the upper rim outer edge which I have never seen the like of before (at first it looks like a small accidental splash of paint but it is definitely part of the glaze) which must have been caused during firing. The lid is otherwise a fabulous example and the small mark in front of the man's head is only a tiny smudge in the glaze
