This listing is for an antique ironstone cherry tooth paste pot, featuring a beautifully ornate black transfer on a white background. The pot reads:
AN ADMIRABLE DENTRIFICE
CHERRY TOOTH PASTE
Most pleasant to use
It Preserves
The Teeth & Gums
In a Healthy Condition
The word dentifrice comes from Latin dens (tooth) and fricare (to rub), and was a general term for tooth-cleaning pastes and powders. “Admirable Dentrifice” marketing is a harder to find pot.
These ceramic toothpaste pots were used in the late 19th to early 20th century, before the adoption of collapsible metal tubes. Cherry-flavored toothpaste was a popular choice at the time, both for children and adults.
Measures approximately 2 3/4” wide across the lid, and 1 3/4” tall.
The lid is in good condition with a strong clear transfer, no cracks, and two chips on the base of the lid. The base is also in good condition with color crazing, no chips and a hairline crack on the bottom. Please view all images for your best description of this pot.
This is an authentic antique advertising pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from friends who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.
Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
