Offering one (1) Rare Benson Confectioner shallow pot, Albert Street, Harrogate. Benson was a local confectionery business — seller of sweets, preserves, and dessert pastes. These pots were utilitarian items, used to package confectionery goods like jam, lemon curd, or sweet pastes for local sale or takeaway. They date from late 19th to early 20th century, originating from Harrogate, a historic spa town in North Yorkshire, England.
This dish is in good condition with great color and crazing, with one hairline crack on the right side, and no chips. It’s a very old looking pot and would be a great compliment to your collection.
Measure approximately 3” diameter X 1 1/2” tall

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.
