This listing is for an antique ironstone Dentrifice pot from Manchester. American Dentifrice was a tooth-cleaning compound made in the late 19th to early 20th century. “Dentifrice” is an old term for any substance used to clean teeth, typically powders before modern toothpaste tubes became common.
The inscription says it was compounded according to the prescription of C. R. Coffin, D.D.S. (Baltimore College of Dental Surgery) and prepared by William Darling, Chemist, at 126 Oxford Street, Manchester. That means this was a licensed formulation from an American dentist, manufactured and sold by a British chemist.
Measures approximately 3 1/4” wide across the lid, and 1 1/4” tall.
The lid is in excellent condition with a strong clear transfer, light crazing, and no chips or cracks. The base is also in very good condition with a thin 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.
