This beautiful mini ointment pot dates to the late 1800s. In very good antique condition, the printed base is free of chips and cracks. The lid is in great condition with light crazing. The charm of this pot displays well and is wonderful paired with other French and English Advertising Pots, old books, ironstone, etc. This pot is a great choice to enhance your advertising pot collection or to start your new collection.
Please consider the images as the best part of my description.

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.
