This offering is for this Antique Button Top Lid w/ ironstone base. The pot reads:

Price’s Ceratine
Price’s Patent Candle Co. Ltd London & Liverpool
with a sailing ship trade mark

Ceratine was a petroleum jelly based product similar to early Vaseline. It was marketed for:
• skin protection & healing
• chapped hands and lips
• burns and minor wounds
• leather conditioning & household use

The product name derives from cerate, meaning a waxy ointment.

Price’s Patent Candle Company was a major British manufacturer known for candles, oils, soaps, and petroleum-based products. By the late 1800s, Price’s was one of the largest candle manufacturers in the world.

This rare button top lid fits nicely on top of the base. It is in very good condition, with no cracks or chips and a strong black transfer. The base is also in very good condition.

Measures Approx 3” tall x 2” diameter across the button top

Each of these Antique English Advertising pots vary slightly in shape and size as they were each handmade, adding to their charm. Please consider the images as your best description for all of my items.

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.
