[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 2747, member: 51"]Got this at a neighborhood sale today. Had a few questions. Clearly has a few issues, several hairline cracks, but no chips of any kind. There is one staple on the lid. Here goes the questions: Does the staple repair add value in any kind of way? (Or at least, not detract?) I read somewhere that certain collectors actually like porcelain pieces with staples. How old do you think this piece is? Does the "s" after Copeland refer to Spode? Am I correct calling the cracks, "hairlines cracks". The one in the pot is a tiny bit deep in spots, running my finger along the outside I could feel it but it does not run through the entire piece. On the base and a bit up the sides where it stops. Even with the issues, I feel this displays quite well. The gold is perfect, ditto with spout, handle etc. Just those darn cracks if you take the lid off and look inside.
