$149.00
1 in stock
Offering this extremely rare BORAX lidded pot with clear Blue underglaze transfer on both the base and both sides of the lid, c. 1890. The Patent Borax Company was a major 19th–early 20th century business. They marketed borax as a multi-purpose cleaner, disinfectant, and laundry aid.
The lid is in very good age appropriate condition with a strong transfer and no chips
or cracks. The beautiful base is in good condition with one chip on the top rim. This very rare piece displays well and would be a real standout in your collection.
Please consider the images as the best part of my description.
Measures approximately 3 1/4” diameter x 1 3/4” 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 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 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 excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
