This offering is for this rate miniature Boot’s Cash Chemist Compound Extract of SARSAPARILLA, A valuable spring, summer and autumn medicine, c. 1890. Sarsaparilla, derived from Smilax plant roots, was marketed in the Victorian era as:
• a blood purifier
• a remedy for skin conditions

These claims were typical of the era’s patent medicines—mostly unregulated, often ineffective, but hugely popular.
This pot is in very good condition with some minor
age coloring, and no chips or cracks.

Each of these Antique English Advertising pots vary slightly in shape and size as they were each handmade, adding to their charm. 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 10 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.
