A complete antique Cracrofts Areca Nut Tooth Paste pot by John Pepper & Co. Ltd., London, retaining its original lid with beautifully detailed black transfer typography.

Marked “Prepared from the Cingalese Recipe,” this piece reflects the fascinating history of early dental care and Victorian-era global ingredient sourcing. The bold typography and classic apothecary form make it as decorative as it is collectible.

These pots once held solid or paste dentifrice and were a staple of late 19th–early 20th century grooming. Today, they are sought-after for their graphic appeal and display beautifully on shelves, in cabinets, or as part of a larger advertising collection.
