$32.00
1 in stock
This antique English porcelain feeding bottle stopper is marked “Matthews’ New Feeding Bottle – The Princess – London & Manchester.”
Dating to the late Victorian era, approximately 1870–1900, this charming little relic would originally have been part of an early infant feeding bottle.
Beautifully crafted in cream-colored glazed porcelain with cobalt blue transfer-printed lettering, the stopper features a circular design, raised central opening, and lovely aged patina.
Before modern baby bottles, Victorian feeding systems often incorporated glass bottles with porcelain fittings and rubber feeding tubes. These early designs are fascinating reminders of the evolution of infant care and medical hygiene. Its petite size and beautifully aged appearance also make it a distinctive curiosity for display in a vintage cabinet or collection.
Measures Approx 3/4” tall x 1 1/2” Diameter
Its in good age appropriate condition with a few chips on the rim and one thin hairline on the right side. Please consider the images as your best description for all of my items.
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.
