Offering this wonderful and RARE large square lidded CHERRY Tooth Paste with a well fitted base. It reads: “CHERRY Tooth Paste, for Preserving and Beautifying the TEETH & GUNS.” Cherry flavor was common during the Victorian era, marketed as pleasant and luxurious compared to plain chalk-based pastes.

The face of the lid is ornate and beautiful, and is in very good condition. The dark transfer is still strong and clear, there are no chips or cracks. The base is in fair condition, with a sizable chip on the inside lip and one on the bottom, neither of which are visible with the lid on. Please consider the images as the best part of my description.

Measures approximately 2 1/2” wide x 1 1/2” tall

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 friends 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 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.

Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.

Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
