The lid is an original wooden lid with straight sides (newer lids are
rounded on the edge) but is just a touch out of round. Almost all of the older Portmeirion
straight wooden lids are like that. The wood and varnish condition is
excellent with no dry and cracked varnish spots as is so common
on older Portmeirion wooden lids. There is one spot of irregular wood along
a top edge there from the time it was made. And there is also a small dent on the edge.
The gasket is excellent and holds a very tight seal.
A wonderful and rare White Dutch Currant canister that is hard to find in such nice condition!
