Antique Gourmet Boila Pudding Boiler Stoneware, Challis Patent No. 4, c. 1900 – Antique English Advertising Pot. The Gourmet Boila pudding boilers, patented by Challis, were primarily used in the late 19th century to early 20th century. These ceramic steamers were popular in England for cooking traditional steamed puddings, a staple of Victorian and Edwardian cuisine.
This pot is in good age based condition with one chip on the back side rim, no cracks and some age markings as shown. Please consider the images as your best description for all of my items.
Measures Approx 4” tall x 4” diameter base x 4 3/4” around the brim near the top.
This is an authentic antique ironstone pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 10 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.
