The pot is in good condition with quite a lot of age coloring, a solid black transfer, and no chips or cracks.

This charming pot would be a great neutral addition to your Antique English Advertising Pot collection. Please study the images as they represent the exact pot you will receive.

Most pots have some level of crazing, may have spots of discoloration, light hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that should be considered patina, additions to character and do not detract from its display value. These are expected due to age, use and let’s not forget they were often buried for decades before being dug up and rescued.

I picked up this wonderful rare pot from one of my sources in England. These are scarce pots and getting harder and harder to source. Crazing and other signs of burial can be expected and add to the charm of these antique pots.

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 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 accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
