1 in stock
A beautifully preserved Victorian ceramic toothpaste pot lid w/base, advertising “Oriental Tooth Paste” made by the Co-operative Wholesale Society Ltd., Newcastle-on-Tyne.
This charming pot once sealed toothpaste and pots like
these were sold in chemists throughout Britain in the late 1800s. The intricate black transfer-print typography and CWS trade mark crest are classic examples of 19th-century English advertising design.
This particular piece dates from around 1880–1910 and features crisp lettering with light, age-appropriate patina.
The lid is in very good condition. The dark transfer is still strong and there are no chips or cracks. The base is also in very good condition with some age coloring and crazing, no chips or
cracks. Please consider the images as the best part of my description.
Measures approximately 2 3/4” diameter x 1 1/2” tall
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 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.
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.
