(I love the names of the characters on this pot!)
“Saponaceous” refers to being soap-based, reflecting that it was made from pure white soap. F.S. Cleaver was a well-known London chemist and perfumer operating in the 19th century.
The pot lid is in very good condition with no chips or cracks. The base is in good condition with a sizable chip on the inside rim that does not show when the lid is in place. Please consider the images as the best part of my description.
Lidded Pot Measures Approx 3 ¾” diameter x 1 3/4” 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 doing serious 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 excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
