This pot is in very good condition with a strong brown transfer, one chip on the top left, and no cracks. Please view all the images for your best description of this pot. Measures Approximately 1 1/2″ tall x 3 1/4″ diameter. This is an authentic antique advertising pot. 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. 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.
