This RARE Victorian white ironstone advertising pot was made for Burgess’s Original Anchovy Paste, a well-known British condiment manufacturer based at 107 Strand, London, on the corner of Savory Steps. The black transfer print features the Royal Arms and advertising text promoting the company’s “Original Anchovy Sauce” and “Anchovy Paste.”
These pots date primarily from the mid-to-late 19th century (circa 1860–1890), before disposable packaging became common. They were sold with a ceramic lid and were intended to be reused after the contents were consumed.
The base and lid are in good condition with scattered age spots and coloring reflecting its age and history. There are no chips or cracks.
Measures 3 1/2” tall x 2 1/4” diameter mid section x 1 1/2” diameter at base
This piece is a lovely example of a rarely seen English Advertising pot with this rare barrel shape dating in the late 1800’s. This would be a real standout in your collection! Please view the images as your best description of this rare pot.
These are authentic antique advertising pots sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from sources 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 traveling the countryside 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.
Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
