A classic English advertising pot from C.W. Plumtree of Southport, dating to the late 19th–early 20th century. These stoneware pots were originally used for potted meats and are now highly collectible for their typography and utilitarian charm.
This example features a strong blue transfer-printed mark reading “Home Potted Meats – Quality – Southport,” with a pleasing rolled rim and beautifully aged glaze. The surface shows consistent crazing, giving it that sought-after timeworn character collectors love.
A perfect piece for a shelf display, kitchen vignette, or mixed with ironstone and early advertising wares.
