Offering this rare Antique English Advertising Lid and Base from CP Pond. It reads:
POND’S
AMERICAN WHITE ARECA NUT TOOTH PASTE
Prepared only by
G.P. POND, Chemist
6 Fleet St. London
“Acknowledged the best preparation for beautifying & preserving the teeth & gums.”
The toothpaste would have been a mixture of chalk, soap, glycerine, and flavorings, with areca nut extract, which was thought to clean teeth and freshen breath. G.P. Pond was a chemist based at 6 Fleet Street, London, active in the mid- to late 1800s. He produced several preparations, including Tooth Paste, Tooth Powder and Other hygiene and cosmetic products.
Measures Approximately 2 1/2″ diameter x 1 1/2″ Tall
Both the lid and base are in good age appropriate condition. You will see in the pictures that there are a number of small chips on the face of the pot. These, along with significant crazing and coloring makes this pot look very old and it really boasts its age. The lid also has a chip on top rim at the bottom and a few small ones on the bottom rim. The base has two chips on the inside top rim and one on the bottom. Please view the images as the best description.
Great addition to your English Advertising Pot collection. This old pot shows it’s had quite a ride through history!
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 and use as they were often buried for decades before being dug up and rescued.
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.
