This rare find listing is for this Clay & Abraham Chemists printed base pot w/lid, Liverpool. This is a Victorian era chemist’s ointment likely used for cold cream, tooth powder, or medicinal salves. These small containers with black transfer-printed lettering were common between about 1860 and 1910.
Clay & Abraham were pharmacists (chemists) based in Liverpool, England. They operated during the late 19th to early 20th century, producing a range of pharmacy goods — creams, ointments, pills, and powders. These containers were sold filled, and customers would later return them for refills before disposable packaging became common.
The base is in excellent condition with light crazing and no chips or cracks. It has a plain lid in very good condition. This would be an excellent addition to your collection. Please view all images for the best description, as this is the exact pot you will receive.
Measures approximately 2 1/2” Diameter x 1 3/4” tall
This is an authentic antique English advertising pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful 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 accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
