Stoneware jar once used for Hall’s Patent Simplex Hektograph — a 19th-century duplicating process that predates the mimeograph and photocopier. A hectograph (also spelled “hektograph”) is an early duplication method that used a gelatin surface to transfer ink from a master copy to produce multiple duplicates. It was commonly used before photocopiers became widespread. The pot features bold black transfer printing and a whimsical illustration of a marching figure holding banners that read “The Hektograph” and “Uncomparable Copying Process.” Marked “C.A. Co. Ltd.” with “Reg. Trade Mark,” it originally contained the gelatin composition used to create hectograph printing pads. On the back of the jar are detailed steps on how to use.

Measures Approximately – 5” tall w/lid x 3 1/4” diameter

This rare pot is in good condition. It is very clean, but has a repair on the top rim on the back side where there was crack. The repair blends in nicely and I provided a view of it in the pictures. Please view the pictures as your best description of this rare pot.

This is an authentic antique ironstone piece 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.

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.

Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.

Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions
