Offering this sweet miniature antique Golden Eye Ointment with a printed lid and plain base.
Timothy Whites & Taylors Ltd., the distributor for this pot, was a prominent British pharmacy and general store chain in the 19th and early 20th century. It was originally founded by Timothy White in the 1840s as a chemist shop in Portsmouth. The Golden Eye Ointment product was a popular over-the-counter treatment for minor eye infections or irritations, often containing mild antiseptic agents such as boric acid.
The lid is in great, clean condition with a strong transfer and no chips or cracks. The base is in good condition. It was designed to have a string run through the bottom to hold it. While the hole on one side does have some minor chipping, the holes you see would have been for the string and not damage to the pot.
Measures Approximately 1 3/4” diameter x 1” tall.
Please view the images as your best description of this great miniature!
I have been sourcing these wonderful antique advertising pieces 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.
On our many visits we have became friends with several 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 excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
