HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA

DIRECTIONS (at bottom)
In washing clothes, pewter utensils, brushes, etc.,
one teaspoonful of “Household Ammonia”
to a pail of water produces wonderful results.
In the bath, one tablespoonful “Household Ammonia”
to an ordinary sized plunge bath of water
has a most refreshing and invigorating effect.
This was liquid ammonia, a very common household cleaning product before modern detergents. In Victorian and Edwardian homes, ammonia was a multi-purpose essential:
• Cleaning floors, tiles, and sinks
• Polishing metal and pewter
• Removing grease and odors
It was basically the all-purpose cleaner of its day—strong, cheap, and effective.
Measures approximately: 11 1/4” tall to the top cap x 3 1/4”
diameter at the base.
These are some of my very favorite antique advertising pieces as they are large sized and so character filled. This bottle is in very good condition. Please consider the images as the best description.
These are authentic antique advertising pots sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from people 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 excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
