This bottle is in great condition.  It has a couple of hairline cracks in the front and, interestingly, the stopper has been broken off in the neck of the bottle. Rare find.  Great display value and makes for wonderful bar decor.

The history and development of stout and porter are intertwined.[4] The name “stout” as used for a dark beer is believed to have come about because strong porters were marketed under such names as “Extra Porter”, “Double Porter”, and “Stout Porter”. The term “Stout Porter” would later be shortened to just “Stout”. For example, Guinness Extra Stout was originally called Extra Superior Porter and was only given the name Extra Stout in 1840.[5]  Wikipedia

Other items are for display only,  ideas for displaying in your home.  This wonderfully charming pot is the perfect choice to enhance your advertising pot collection or the perfect piece to start your new collection.

These stouts were curated during my travels to English Antique Markets while visiting my daughter and her family in London.

Please consider the images 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 only add to its character and do not detract from its display value.  These are expected due to age, use and let’s not forget they were often buried for decades before being dug up and rescued.

I offer substantial savings in shipping costs when multiple items are combined into one package.  I work hard to find the most economical shipping options available by checking multiple discount carriers.

I will credit any overpayment of postage charged to you after finding the best shipping option. I check both ParcelMonkey.com and Shipgooder.com for the most economical delivery to save you shipping dollars. These companies negotiate better rates with USPS, Fed Ex and UPS than individuals can on their own.
