Offering this charming RILEY’S DAIRIES, Rich Thick cream pot from Hull & Bridlington, England. Very sweet antique English advertising piece.
Before widespread cardboard cartons and glass bottles, dairies used ceramic and stoneware containers because they:
• kept dairy products cool
• were reusable
• carried permanent advertising
The cow illustration is a classic turn-of-the-century dairy motif, meant to emphasize:
• freshness
• purity
• local farming
Measures approximately 2 3/4” tall x 1 1/2″ base. The pot is in good condition with no chips or cracks, with a few aging spots and some blur on the printed transfer. Please view the images as the best description for this pot.
These are all 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 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.
