Offering this lovely Roger & Gallet, Creme de Savon, shaving cream produced in Paris, France 1889. A very early French Advertising pot with original lid detailed with the encircled Roger & Gallet logo and lovely outer circle design. Features a beautiful green transfer around the entire pot and lid. The green floral/scroll motif and elegant French script were typical of high-end toiletry branding aimed at affluent gentlemen of the Belle Époque (translates “the beautiful era”) and early Art Nouveau periods.
Excellent antique condition, very clean, two very small flat chips on the inside rim of the lid which is not at all visible with the lid on.
Approximate measurements: 2 3/4” tall x 3 1/2” diameter at the widest point x 2 3/4” base x 2 1/2” mouth.
Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting hard 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 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.
