Offering this beautiful clean crazed FELIX POTIN French Confitures pot with lovely dark Blue/teal fancy transfer graphics. Félix Potin was a pioneering French grocer who opened his first store in Paris in 1844. He is credited with revolutionizing retail in France by introducing the concept of selling pre-packaged goods with fixed prices—essentially inventing the modern supermarket model. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Félix Potin had become a household name in France. The company produced a wide range of food products under its own brand, including confitures (jams or preserves), which this pot would have contained. One of several Rare Pots curated on my last trip to England. This pot is in overall very good condition with small age related staining, no chips, and one very fine hairline crack that has been repaired as shown with the faint white line on the inside.

Measures approximately:
2# Felix Potin Paris – 5 1/4” tall x 3 1/2” ″ mouth opening.

Please consider the images as the best part of my description.

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.
