This charming and very rare antique white glazed ceramic cold cream pot features elaborate black transfer-printed lettering advertising Fisher & Co., Chemists, Cold Cream, Bath & High Street, Leamington.
Daring from the late Victorian to early Edwardian era, approximately 1880–1920, this lovely pot was produced for Fisher & Co., a historic dispensing chemist in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England.
During the Victorian and Edwardian eras, chemists frequently offered their own cold cream preparations in decorative ceramic containers bearing their business names.
An attractive piece of English social and pharmaceutical history, perfect for display in an antique collection, bathroom vignette, or vintage apothecary cabinet.
Measures approx – 2 1/4” Diameter x 1 1/2” tall
The lid is in great clean antique condition with a strong black transfer and a few scatterd age spots on the underside. The base is in good condition with color crazing and one longer chip on the top rim that does not show with the lid on. Please view the images as the best description for this pot.
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.
