1 in stock
Offered is this Victorian stoneware pot that once contained calf’s foot jelly — a popular delicacy and restorative food in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The pot reads:
HOME MADE
INVALID’S CALF’S FOOT JELLY
BULLOUGH CONFECTIONER
BRADSHAWGATE (Street)
BOLTON
Calf’s foot jelly was a clear, gelatinous dessert or tonic made by boiling the feet of calves to extract natural gelatin, then flavoring the result with sugar, wine, lemon, and spices. It was marketed as food for invalids, the elderly, and those recovering from illness — believed to “restore strength.” It was popular from the late 18th century through the early 20th century, before commercially produced gelatin (like Jell-O) replaced it.
Measures Approx. 3 ½” tall x 3 1/2” diameter.
This is a rare piece. It is in good, clean condition with one chip on the inside top rim on the back and one hairline crack on the back. It 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 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.
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.
