This product was part of the wave of early 20th century “medical food” or “tonic” products that straddled the line between comfort medicine, health-promoting supplement, and dietary solution. Marketing focused on enhancing the body, aiding digestion, and being suitable for both children and adults. The use of “Lecithin Food” points to the popular belief at the time that lecithin could help nerve function and general health; which helps understand why the wording ‘nervine’ appears.
This pot is on good condition, with some fade on the top of the transfer, one chip on the bottom in the front, and no cracks. Please view the images as the best description of this pot.
Measures approx. 3” tall x 2” at widest point x 1 1/4” 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.
