The top is quite nice, with almost all of the print t, very little rubbed off, and easy to read the "ORLOFF ATTAR OF PETALS, Flower Potpourri." The lid's flowers are extremely nice, with probably 95% or more of the original blue, yellow, white and green paint left. The flowers on the base have not fared as well as you can from the last photo. The label on the bottom, however, is in very good shape, close to 100% intact and in spite of a stain around one side is easily readable even in the smaller print. Has a very small amount of roughness on the rim, which you must feel for. The black apothecary is marked "JV CO, INC." on the base, with the #1. No problem except seam roughness on the base. The same is true of the pestle/lid. The black shaving mug has strong embossing, "J.V. CO. INC.," and the #7.
