Offering this rare early version Large Antique English Woods Areca Nut 1s (1 Schilling) size, Tooth Paste, lidded pot. The design on the front is rare to find. It reads: “For removing Tartar and whitening the Teeth without injurying the Enamel. Proprietor W.

It makes it a great collector item.

The lid is in great condition for its age, with a strong black transfer and no chips or cracks. The base is in very good condition with colored crazing and no chips. This would be a unique pot to add to your collection! Please view the images as the best description for this pot.

This authentic English antique advertising pot was 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.
