Very Rare Taylor’s Drug Co. Ltd. Confection of Senna advertising pot. The store tagline is “The Popular Drug Stores.” The pot includes a dosage amount on one side and provides a credibility statement on another side that reads: “Prepared with the finest ingredients and in strict accordance with the British Pharmacopoeie.”. Confection of Senna was a traditional medicinal preparation used as a gentle laxative. It typically consisted of senna (a natural herb known for its laxative properties), combined with ingredients like figs, tamarind, or prunes to improve taste and soften its effect—hence the label “lenitive electuary” (a mild, sweet medicinal paste). It was commonly prescribed for constipation and was particularly popular in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

This pot in very good condition, with no chips or cracks, and a strong black transfer and a few scattered age spots. These Confection of Senna from Taylor’s are very scarce. Great bathroom decor or to display with your collection.

Measures Approx 3 ½” tall w/lid x 2 1/4” base x 1 3/4” mouth

Please consider the images as your best description for all of my items.

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.

Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
