This is a pristine example of Imperial Porcelain Works circa 1897-1898. The glaze is so smooth that you will have to hold on to it tightly to keep it from slipping out of your hand. The "Manufactured by" marking is partially double struck. The only damage is not damage at all, but rather factory blemishes. There is a well worn small flake on the bottom firing rest probably where it stuck to the seger and a crack on the crown that was obviously a flaw in the porcelain. It was found in eastern Canada. $250 plus $11 shipping or I can deliver to Muncie National or Springfield. Payment with no-fee PayPal to my email address, personal check, or money order.
