Anchovy paste was a popular 19th–early 20th-century condiment used for sandwiches, toast, and sauces. It was made from ground anchovies mixed with butter, spices, and sometimes capers. Crosse & Blackwell was one of the leading producers and exporters of this product, which was especially popular among the Victorian and Edwardian upper classes.
Crosse & Blackwell was founded in 1706 in London and became one of Britain’s most famous producers of sauces, pickles, preserves, and condiments. The company gained Royal Warrants, allowing it to display the phrase “By Appointment to Her Majesty” — a mark of prestige granted to suppliers of the royal household.
Measures approximately 3 1/2” wide across the lid, and 1 3/4” tall.
The lid is in great condition with a dark transfer, no chips or cracks, and a beautiful decorative border. The base is in good condition with some chips on the top rim that do not show with the lid on, and a few
small chips on the bottom. Please view the images as your best description of this pot.
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 where we enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious 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.
