This is a listing for one (1) Rowland’s Otto of Rose Cold Cream, Lewis & Burrows Ltd Store Chemists, London, Lidded Pot w/ Base. Otto of Rose refers to a skincare product infused with rose oil (otto of rose), which was a popular luxury ingredient in the 19th century. The lid on this pot is in good condition with some age coloring giving it character in highlighting its 100
plus years buried in the ground. There are two chips on the inside lip which are not visible when sitting on the base. The base is in overall good condition, and has one chip on the right side. This pot would be a great addition to your collection.

Please consider the images as the best part of my description.
This ancient pot was curated during my travels to England’s Famous Antique Markets while visiting my daughter and her family in London. Dates late 1800’s to early 1900’s.
Most pots have some level of crazing, may have spots of discoloration, light hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that should be considered patina, additions to 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.
