Listed is this unique ancient Turko-Bulgarian Yaghourt (Yogurt) pot. Yogurt has ancient origins in Central Asia and the Balkans, and was traditionally made with goat, sheep, or cow’s milk. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, yogurt was introduced to Western Europe, where it was marketed for its health benefits, particularly for digestion and longevity. The Turko-Bulgarian Sour-Milk Co. was founded in the early 1900s in London, this company capitalized on the growing interest in “Balkan” or “Turkish” health foods, particularly fermented milk. The spelling “Yaghourt” reflects the Turkish and Bulgarian roots of the product and its exotic appeal at the time.

This pot is in good antique condition, with no cracks and one chip on the back rim as shown.

Measures: 3 1/4” tall x 3 3/4” diameter at the widest point x 2 3/4” base x 2 3/4” mouth
Please consider the images as your best description of this jar.

Pots may contain crazing, spots of discoloration, hairline cracks and minor chips and fleabites that only add to its character and do not detract from its display value.  These are expected due to age, use and being buried for decades and then being dug up and rescued.

This is an authentic antique ironstone pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 10 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.
