The name Félix Potin comes from Jean-Louis-Félix Potin, a Paris grocer who founded his business in 1844. He became an important innovator by selling goods at clearly established prices and increasingly producing and packaging foods under his own name—an early version of today’s supermarket/store brand. The pictures on the front of the pots represent the factories he built to manuacture and distribute his products.
This beautiful pot is in great condition. These don’t come along often and in such good condition. It would be a clear standout in your collection! Please review all the pictures for your best description.
Measures approximately 5 1/4” tall x 3 1/4” at the base.
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 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.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
