This listing is for this Rare Real Gorgona Anchovy Paste Lidded Pot. The pot lid reads:
“REAL GORGONA ANCHOVY PASTE
So highly approved of for
TOAST, SANDWICHES, &c.”
Anchovy paste was a very popular savory spread in Britain during the Victorian era, commonly served on toast or in sandwiches, as the lid suggests.
The pot features a royal coat of arms (lion and unicorn), commonly used on products to imply quality, prestige, or a royal warrant — even if unofficially.
Measures Aporox. 3 1/4” diameter x 2” tall
The lid is in good condition with one flatter chip on the bottom front, no cracks, and still well
preserved black transfer for the age of this pot. The base is in good condition with one chip on the inside top rim and one chip on the bottom rim. Please view the pictures as 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 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.
