Dear Sharon,
What you have here is a planter made by Bagshaw and Meir in Staffordshire England around 1890. Because of the size I believe it will be attractive for buyers. Unfortunately there is a crack in the bottom that will influence the price.
Spider crack also will influence value. It is a visible defect what will always have effect on biddings. At the moment this type of wares are not very fashionable and therefor prices are low. I believe in the near future this prices will improve.
The crack is a spider crack on the bottom. It does not go through and there are no leaks. It's otherwise in excellent condition with no chips, scratches or cracks.
