I am happy to offer a rare Botanic Garden ceramic lidded canister topped with a dome shape ceramic lid rather than the more usual wooden lid. Ceramic lids were produced in about 1980 for a limited amount of time. While any ceramic lidded canisters are hard to find, the dome shape is especially rare and not often seen.

The lid is the Daisy and bottom is in the Heartsease coffee cup flower with several interesting butterflies! This canister is in excellent condition with no crazing or wear!


The Daisy was an original 1972 flower on bread and butter plates and still remains in production today. It is based on an image found in the 1835 botany book with illustrations by William Clarke,Moral of Flowers, and written by Mrs. Hey.

Size	Overall it is about 4-1/2" high. The lid is a little over 5-1/2" across and 1-1/2" high. The base is about 4-1/2" across and almost 3" high.
Transfer	Both lid and base have undamaged and colorful transfers.
Ground	Very white
Glaze	NO crazing and nice shiny glaze everywhere!
Chips/Cracks	None
Stains	None
Use Marks	Because the canister has been around for about 20 years, it likely has been used. But looks like it was made yesterday with no scratches or other signs of use.
Other Comments	The lid gasket is new and so the lid holds a very tight seal. Maybe too tight and takes a little effort to remove the lid. The new seal will shrink over time and get easier to remove. A rare and unusual Botanic Garden ceramic lidded canister with a dome shape lid!

The bottom is marked with 2nd Trophy ID backstamp used from about 1978 until 1982.
