FRANK COOPER – OXFORD 7 Lb Home-Made Seville Marmalade – Two-tone English Advertising Pot. Frank Cooper founded his business in Oxford, England in 1874. His wife, Sarah-Jane Cooper, first made the marmalade using Seville oranges — known for their tart flavor — following her own recipe. The marmalade became so popular that Frank opened a dedicated factory on Park End Street, Oxford in 1903. The brand gained the Royal Warrant (the crown emblem) as suppliers to the British royal family.
Very good condition for this large pot that would be a great addition to the kitchen or on a shelf….so many things you could put in it. There is one chip on the top rim in the back and one very light hairline crack on the front bottom. It’s hard to find these large pots in such good condition. Please study the pictures for your best description of this pot.
Measures approx 7 1/2” tall x 5 3/4” diameter at base x 4 ¼” opening at mouth.
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 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 accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
