A wonderful and rare unusual piece of antique English history! This charming stoneware vessel is marked “THE DAINTY MUFF WARMER” in beautiful cobalt blue lettering on a warm cream-colored glazed body.
Dating to the late Victorian or Edwardian era, these small ceramic hot-water bottles were designed to be tucked inside a lady’s fur hand muff to provide warmth during chilly carriage rides, winter outings, and everyday travels.
Lovely antique condition with wonderful age-related character. Displays overall glaze crazing, discoloration, surface wear, and scattered staining consistent with age and use. Some greenish staining is visible near the upper shoulder.
The cobalt blue lettering remains beautifully legible, making this a particularly attractive display piece.
Please examine all photographs carefully, as they are the best part of the description. It’s a rare and charming conversation piece with over a century of history.
Measures: 4 3/4” tall x 2 3/4” wide x 1 3/4” thick
The piece is in very good condition with a strong transfer and some scattered age spots. Please consider the images as the best description.
These are authentic antique advertising pieces sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pieces for over 12 years from people 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.
