An authentic antique Shippam’s High Class Potted Meat stoneware advertising pot from Chichester, England, dating to the late Victorian or Edwardian period (circa 1890–1915).
Shippam’s was one of Britain’s most famous producers of potted meats, meat pastes, and preserves. Their ceramic pots were sold throughout England before glass jars and tins became the standard.
This pot features the classic black transfer print reading:

This antique shallow pot is in good condition with age related coloring throughout, and no chips or cracks. The black transfer remains dark and clear.

Please consider the images of this rare pot as the best part of my description.
Most pots have some level of crazing, may have spots of discoloration, light hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that should be considered patina, additions to character and do not detract from its display value. These are expected due to age, they were often buried for decades before being dug up and rescued.
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 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.
Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
