Antique ironstone cold cream pot for Ellanbee Cold Cream, perfumed with Otto of Rose, and manufactured by Lewis R. Burrows Ltd., London.
Lewis R. Burrows Ltd. was a British cosmetics and toiletries company active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The company produced a range of beauty and personal care products, including cold creams, face powders, perfumes, and skin lotions. Cold cream was a staple cosmetic of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, valued for cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting the skin.
The Ellanbee brand was one of the company’s premium skincare lines. The fragrance Otto of Rose refers to genuine rose essential oil, a luxury ingredient widely used in fine cosmetics of the period.
The pot is made of glazed ironstone with a printed transfer decoration on the lid. These containers were commonly used before metal tins and plastic jars became the industry standard because they helped preserve creams and gave products a more luxurious presentation.
The lid is in very good condition with age crazing throughout, a strong green transfer, and no chips or cracks. The base is in good condition with great crazing and color, and one chip on the inside rim. If you like stain and crazing, this is a great pot that shows its travel through history! Please view the images as your best description of this rare pot.
Measures approximately 2 3/4” Diameter x 1 1/2” tall
This is an authentic antique English advertising pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful 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 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 accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
