Offered is this rare LARGE sized Numol advertising Pot with a DECORATIVE CREST SURROUNDING THE LABEL. A charming creamy ironstone piece with decorative under glaze black transfer advertising.
NUMOL was an early 20th-century proprietary health tonic marketed as a nutritional restorative. Products like this were very popular in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The reference to lecithin reflects a health trend of the period, when lecithin was marketed as a strengthening “brain food” supplement. Terms like “tonic,” “nervine,” and “body builder” were common in pre-regulation patent medicine advertising.
Very good condition, very clean with a strong transfer and one chip on the top rim.
Measures approx. 5 ¼” tall x 3 1/2” at widest point x 2 ½” mouth opening.
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.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
