Two tone Stout bottle from bottler John Thompson. It has a unique Minister logo and the tag line “If ill Send for the Minister.”
The bottle reads “Stout
for Invalids.” This style of beer was commonly marketed during the Victorian and Edwardian periods (approximately 1880–1915) as a strengthening or restorative drink. At the time, stout was widely believed to have health benefits and was often recommended for invalids, nursing mothers, and manual laborers. Beer was also considered safer than water in many industrial cities.
The bottle is in very good condition with a strong label, some age coloring on the left
front, and a few minor burial scratches on the right side.
Measures Approximately – 8 1/2”Tall x 2 1/2” diameter at base
This charming bottle is a great neutral addition to your Antique English Advertising Pot collection. Please study the images as they represent the exact pot you will receive.
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 as 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 accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
