DescriptionFrom the sales record: A scarce 1 gal size bean pot from Rosborough and Thomas, Importers, China and Glassware, 174 Granville Street, Halifax. Near mint condition with a couple of very minor flakes off the inside rim. The lid is a dead match for the glaze and is almost certainly original. This is a form that you seldomd see marked by the merchant.
