This listing is for this Milton & Son Small Ointment Antique Printed Advertising Pot, c. 1900.
Milton & Son was a prominent pharmacy in Exeter, England, during the late 19th century. In the mid-1870s, they operated at No. 246 High Street, a location historically known as the Apothecaries’ Hall. This site had a rich history of serving as a pharmacy since the early 16th century. 
The base is in very good, clean condition with just a few very minor chips on the inside rim and no cracks. The black transfer is still strong and clean. It has a plain lid also in good condition with significant crazing as shown, and one chip on the top near the back. Please view all images for exact condition, as this is the exact pot you will receive.
Measures approximately 2” Diameter x 1 1/4” tall
This is an authentic antique English advertising pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful 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.
