Hailwood’s Rich Cream – Manchester, Antique Large Size, two tone Advertising Pot from the late late 1800’s.

Hailwood’s was a well-known Manchester-based dairy company in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They specialized in selling rich cream and other dairy products, which were distributed in distinctive stoneware jars like this one. Stoneware was commonly used because it was durable and helped preserve dairy products before the widespread use of glass bottles and refrigeration.

The two-tone salt-glazed (brown top, cream base) was a popular style for cream and preserve jars. The cow motif and wording “Rich Cream” served both as branding and a guarantee of quality. This pot is in very good condition with no chips or cracks.

Measures Approximately: 3 1/2” tall x 2 1/2” diameter across the middle x 1 3/4” diameter base x 1 1/4” opening at the top

These charming pots are a great neutral addition to your Antique English Advertising Pot collection. Please study the images as they represent the best description of the pot you will receive.

Most pots have some level of crazing, may have spots of discoloration, light hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that should be considered patina, additions to character and do not detract from its display value. These are expected due to age, use and the fact that they were often buried for decades before being dug up and rescued.

I picked up these wonderful and rare sized mini pots on this last trip to England from one of my sources. All are in very good age appropriate condition as you can see when you study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce pots and getting harder and harder to source. Crazing and other signs of burial can be expected and add to the charm of these antique pots.

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.
