1. Very Good. Some grime. Flakes through the enamel around the outer edges. Has made in Germany stamped twice to the underside. 2. Very Good. D. & J. Fowler, Ltd. of Adelaide packed Amgoorie Tea into the 1940s, although a court case as early as 1896 shows that they had registered the name Amgoorie in regards to tea. They also manufactured Lion Self Raising Flour, so this is an advertising piece for D. & J. Fowler of Adelaide. This looks reasonably early, possible early 1900s? Wear under the base. Small split to left side. Couple of minor bends to the edges. Some grime. A superb item with the highly details factory, I have only just noticed that it has written on the factory: Fowler's Lion Factory! 3. Very Good. This has heavy kitchen grime, needs a good soaking clean. I thought this had a crack through the handle, but it is a fold in the glass on one side of the handle which shows through making it appear as a crack, which it is not. There is a fine fracture under the left base heel which does not go all the way through the glass. Grade: N/A Estimate: $70 - 100
