Breidenbach’s Tooth Paste was an “extra moist” tooth and gum paste, essentially an early form of toothpaste or mouth paste. It was marketed as both a cleanser and a breath freshener.
Breidenbach & Co. were perfumers and distillers located at 157B New Bond Street, London. They were renowned in the mid to late 19th century for producing fine perfumes, soaps, and toiletry products. The firm proudly described themselves as “Perfumers and Distillers of Wood Violet to Her Majesty the Queen,” indicating they held a Royal Warrant, meaning they supplied goods to the British royal household.
Measures approx – 2 3/4” Diameter x 1 1/2” tall
The lid with its black transfer and decorative border is in good age appropriate condition with a chip on the front by the letter B, and a chip on the inside rim. The base is also in good condition with significant age coloring and one minor chip on the top rim. Please view the images as the best description for this pot. This pot can be a rare and beautiful addition to your collection.
This authentic English antique advertising pot was 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 excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
