Patty & Co Perfumers Cold Cream English Advertising Pot. It reads:
SUPERIOR COLD CREAM
For Softening & Beautifying THE SKIN
and Preventing it from Chapping
PATTY & CO PERFUMERS
Late of 37 Lombard Street
LONDON
Cold cream dates back centuries (originating with Galen in Ancient Greece), but in the 18th–19th centuries it became a mass-market cosmetic in Europe. Patey & Co was one of many perfumers and cosmetic makers in London at the time. These pots are dated circa 1850–1880. The wording “Late of 37 Lombard Street” suggests that the business had previously been located there but had since moved, a common detail used in branding to retain prestige.
The base is in good condition with no chips or cracks and some aging spots. The lid is in good condition with a strong clean transfer, some colored crazing and one chip on the lid bottom.
Measures Approximately 2 1/2″ diameter x 1 1/4″ Tall

Great addition to your Antique English Advertising Pot collection.
Most pots have some level of crazing, may have spots of discoloration, light hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that should be considered 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. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.
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.
