Very rare Authentic antique French stoneware mustard pot from Orléans, France, produced for the historic firm Dessaux Fils, a renowned maker of vinegar and mustard founded in 1789.

Stoneware containers like this were widely used because they resisted acidity and could be returned and refilled—hence the permanent branding fired directly into the ceramic.

The pot reads and translates:

Front
“MOUTARDE DESSAUX FILS”
➡️ “Dessaux Sons Mustard”
“MARQUE DÉPOSÉE”
➡️ “Registered trademark”
“ORLÉANS – FRANCE”
➡️ “Orléans, France”

Back
“MAISON FONDÉE EN 1789”
➡️ “Company founded in 1789”
“VINAIGRES – MOUTARDES”
➡️ “Vinegars – Mustards”
“ORLÉANS – DESSAUX FILS”
➡️ “Orléans – Dessaux Sons”

APPROXIMATE MEASUREMENTS: 5″ TALL X 2 ¾” DIAMETER AT BASE

This ancient pot is in good overall antique condition with some burial markings, one chip on the top rim and one chip on the bottom rim. This is a unique pot that boats its age and would be a great addition to anyone’s collection.

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