This listing offers this Harrison & Company Invalid Jelly English Advertising Pot. Harrison & Company was a confectioner based at 60 King Street, Manchester. Companies like this often provided both sweet treats and medicinal confections. Being a “Confectioner by Appointment” implies they were an official supplier to a noble household or had a royal warrant, which was a mark of prestige.

Invalid jelly was a type of food supplement given to people who were sick or recovering (hence “invalid”). In the 19th and early 20th centuries, before the advent of modern nutrition science, such jellies were marketed as restorative or nutritious food for the ill, elderly, or convalescing patients. They were often rich in gelatin and sugar, sometimes fortified with wine, meat extract, or other nutrients

Measures Approx. 3 ¼” tall x 3” diameter

This pot is in very good antique condition with no chips or cracks. Display beautifully! Please view the images as the best representation of this piece.  A great rare pot for your collection!

Most pots have some level of crazing, may have spots of discoloration, light hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that only add to its character and do not detract from its display value.  These are expected due to age, use and let’s not forget they were often buried for decades before being dug up and rescued.
