Beautiful Antique Cross & Blackwell English Barrel shaped lidded pot with lid, address of 21 Soho Square -London. Crosse & Blackwell is a British food company founded in 1706. It became particularly well-known during the 19th and early 20th centuries for its preserved foods like pickles, sauces, mustard, and jams. By the Victorian era, they were royal warrant holders and exported their goods worldwide. The base and lid are in very good age appropriate condition with a very strong black transfer. The base has a few small hairline cracks on the back and one small piece in the inside rim not visible that has had a slight repair as shown in the picture. Attractive light crazing on the body and no chips.

Measures 4” tall x 2 1/2” diameter mid section x 1 3/4” diameter at base

This piece is a lovely clean example of a rarely seen English Advertising pot with this rare barrel shape dating around 1900. On the front is featured the Royal Warrant (meaning the company supplied the Royal family). These pots would have been considered one use packaging and thrown away after use. It has been dug up from an old Victorian dumpsite in London. The lid is well fitting, this would be a real standout in your collection!

These are authentic antique advertising pots 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.
