$79.00
Out of stock
Offering this very rare BORAX pot from The Patent Borax Co., Ltd., Birmingham and London. The two sided lid sits on a plain base. This English Advertising Pot has a clear Blue underglaze transfer on both sides of the lid.
Borax (sodium borate) is a naturally occurring mineral used as a cleaning agent, laundry booster, antiseptic, preservative, and in glassmaking and ceramics. It became popular in Victorian and Edwardian Britain as a household essential, marketed for its versatility in cleaning and preservation.
The lid is in good condition with no chips or cracks and a few aging spots. The base is not the original but is a good fit with some great crazing and a few
minor chips on the bottom. Please consider the images as the best part of my description. Beautiful rare piece.
Measures approximately 3 1/4” diameter x 3” tall
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 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 excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
