The lid is beautifully decorated with crisp black transfer printing, featuring bold period typography surrounded by an intricate circular foliate border, with the original “Price 2s6d” proudly incorporated into the design. The contrast between the creamy white ceramic and detailed monochrome decoration gives this small pot exceptional graphic appeal.

Measures approximately 3 inches wide, 3 inches deep, and 1.25 inches high. Good antique condition with signs of wear and handling. There is a chip to the inside lid rim. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.

Originally intended to hold rose-scented cold cream for the Victorian dressing table, the pot offers a fascinating glimpse into the beauty rituals, packaging, and commercial design of 19th-century London. Its Old Bond Street address adds wonderful period character and makes it particularly appealing to collectors of English advertising, antique cosmetics, pharmacy wares, and vanity accessories. Displayed open to reveal its clean ceramic interior or closed to showcase the elaborate lid, it makes a charming decorative accent for an English country bathroom, dressing table, or cabinet of curiosities. A diminutive object with tremendous historic and decorative presence. See less
