The base is in very good condition with a strong black transfer, a fish symbol incised on the bottom, no chips or cracks. The rare lid is in good condition with a strong transfer and one chip on the back side. Please view the images as your best description of this pot.

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. 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.
