I am offering this Set of 3 Antique Salt Glazed Brown Ink Well Bottles from the late 1800’s, sold together. All three have spouts and would have been used to hold ink and considered a master ink bottle that refilled smaller inkwells. All 3 bottles are in good antique condition, with some age related color fading, no meaningful chips or cracks. Please review the pictures as the best description for these bottles.
Approximate Measurements:
Large bottle 9 1/2” tall x 4” diameter base x 1 3/4” top
Medium bottle 7 3/4” tall x 3 1/4” diameter base x 1 3/4” top
Small bottle 6” tall x 2 1/2” diameter base x 1 1/2” top
These charming pots are a great addition to your Antique English Advertising Pot collection.
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.
I picked up these wonderful and rare sized mini pots on this last trip to England from one of my sources. All are in very good age appropriate condition as you can see when you study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce pots and getting harder and harder to source. Crazing and other signs of burial can be expected and add to the charm of these antique pots.
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.
