Offering these Antique English Ironstone J. Sainsbury’s Bloater Paste and Potted Meats. Bloater paste was a spread made from bloaters — lightly salted and smoked herrings. The fish were mashed with butter and seasonings to create a rich, savory paste. Potted meat was a popular preserved food of the Victorian era. It consisted of finely minced, cooked meat (beef, ham, or chicken) mixed with spices and sealed under a layer of clarified butter or fat to preserve it.
Both pots are in good condition. The potted meats has attractive age crazing and has one chip on the bottom right. The bloater paste has some age coloring with two chips on the bottom.
Measures Approximately:
Potted meat 2 1/2” tall x 2 1/4”
diameter
Bloater Paste 1 1/2” tall x 2 1/2”
diameter
Please consider the images of this rare pot as the best part of my description.
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, they were often buried for decades before being dug up and rescued.
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 excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
