Société Hygiénique de Paris was a French manufacturer and retailer of cosmetics, perfumes, and personal-care products during the 19th century. The company marketed a variety of beauty and hygiene preparations, including cold creams, skin creams, perfumes, soaps, and other toiletries.

The firm’s products were sold from its premises at 55 Rue de Rivoli in Paris, one of the city’s most fashionable commercial districts near the Louvre. The company used elegant typography and decorative packaging to appeal to middle- and upper-class consumers who valued both luxury and modern notions of personal hygiene.

Its “Cold Cream” was a moisturizing and protective skin preparation intended to soothe, soften, and improve the complexion. Such products were especially popular during the Victorian era and were among the earliest commercially branded skincare products.

Beautiful decorative lid in good condition with some fade on the transfer and one chip on the bottom rim. The base is in good condition with some small chips on the inside rim and one on the bottom as shown. Please view the pictures as your best description.

Measures: 2 3/4 ” in diameter and 1 1/4” tall.

Great addition to your Antique Advertising Pot collection.

Most pots have some level of crazing, may have spots of discoloration, light hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that should be considered additions to character and do not detract from its display value.

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 excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions
