Offering this rare antique stoneware cream pot from the Huntly Creamery, based in Huntly, Aberdeenshire. Huntly, a market town, has a long history of farming and dairy production. Creameries like Huntly’s were local hubs where milk was collected, processed into cream or butter, and then distributed in stoneware jars like this one.
This beautiful two-tone jar once held pure rich cream, delivered fresh and locally in the days before refrigeration. Featuring a bold black transfer print of a cow being milked and a note that the cream was “preserved with boron,” this pot offers a glimpse into the Victorian/Edwardian era of food preservation.
The pot is in very good condition with no chips or cracks, and a strong black transfer.
Measures approximately 4 1/4” tall x 2 3/4 diameter x 1 3/4” opening

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 friends 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 doing serious 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.
Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
