Charming vintage stoneware hot water bottle and bed warmer marked “The Reliable – Hot Water Bottle & Bed Warmer – Timothy White Ltd.”
This cream-glazed ceramic bottle has a flattened round shape and an ornate black transfer-printed design to the front. It retains its original-style ceramic screw stopper and displays beautifully as a piece of early household and pharmacy history.
Before rubber hot water bottles became commonplace, stoneware bottles like this were filled with hot water and placed beneath the bedcovers to provide warmth. Today they make attractive decorative pieces and are especially appealing to collectors of antique stoneware, advertising, pharmacy and apothecary items.
This item would be a unique, great addition to a collection. You could also use it as a door stop.
Measures: 7 1/4” tall x 6 1/2” wide
The piece is in very good condition with a strong transfer and some scattered age spots. Please consider the images as the best description.
These are authentic antique advertising pieces sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pieces for over 12 years from people 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 accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
