Wright,s were in business in  Philadelphia from around 1854 -1876. I assume your lid shows a man shaving. Is this the one with him standing or sitting and also is the print overglaze or underglaze.

Not one I have seen before but is definitely from Philadelphia and would be from around 1860.
Quite a nice lid although relatively plain for a U S pot lid. What is the diameter of the lid

Its a real beauty, and came in two varients AFAIK. A black and whit and a Sepia print. The Lid can be seen below. There are also varients of man looking in mirror.

It is a beautiful pot lid.

They will appreciate in value. They are still for sale let me know if interested.

CF, You are talking of the eddes UK lid correct? The link you show is a US lid and the harder of the 4 varients with the cut face transfer.
