Vintage Baldelli Italy Ceramic Flour Canister Pottery Wire Hinge Lock Top 9.75"

Vintage ceramic flour canister by Baldelli Italy. White/off-white with "flour" printed in black script writing across front. Red and green painted stripes. Wire hinged locking lid with gasket. Signed and numbered on bottom. Approximately 9.75 inches tall (with lid); approximate diameter 5.75 inches across base. In good overall pre-owned vintage condition. There is some discoloration and cracking along the outer edge of the rubber(?) gasket, likely from age; the gasket is still intact and functional. There is also some surface wear/marks on the ceramic under the metal lock, where the metal hinges have worn against it. See photos for more details. Note - there is an indentation in the ceramic on the rim of the lid. This does NOT appear to be a chip, but appears to have been an original maker's/manufacturer's flaw, as the paint and glaze over the area are intact and not worn. See photos for close-up view.
