Boot’s Cash Chemist
These little mini antique pot are rare in that they don’t usually survive being dug up at sites. This particular pot has beautiful old indented transfer which indicates its a very early pot when copper plates were placed on the pot and the design was traced or pushed into the soft pottery after it’s first firing vs. the typical transfer with tissue paper of later years. I rarely ever find this little Sarsaparilla pot at markets so it is a very rare treasure! There are a couple of hairline cracks on this pot adding to its character, a very solid pot. Has beautiful patina and a lid! I love lids on these little pots!
History. For centuries, indigenous people around the world used the root of the sarsaparilla plant for treating joint problems like arthritis, and for healing skin problems like psoriasis, eczema, and dermatitis. The root was also thought to cure leprosy due to its “blood-purifying” properties.
Beautiful pot to add to your miniature collection.
Each of these charming pots vary slightly in shape and size as they were each handmade.
Please consider the images as your best description for all of my items.
All pots typically contain crazing, spots of discoloration, hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that only add to its character and do not detract from its display value. These are expected due to age, use and being buried for decades and then being dug up and rescued.
I offer substantial savings in shipping costs when multiple items are combined into one package. I work hard to find the most economical shipping options available by checking multiple discount carriers.
