Is this one old or a reproduction by coalport / other? Attractive and detailed pictorial either way!

Agreed, do not specifically target bears so am unsure on this one. Occasionally see coalport material on ebay. Most sellers thankfully list as such but not all. Does anybody know of some reference on what they produced? Great reproductions generally made im sure in good faith but the wording on the rear of the lid is oh so easy to remove.

Nothing wrong with that one. It is the wrong size and shape for a Coalport repro.
