Large Antique Edwardian Lipton Ltd Dairy Butter Crock

Dating to around 1910, this antique Edwardian 'Lipton Ltd' dairy crock is in wonderful condition.

This two tone Scottish stoneware butter crock was made by the Port Dunbas pottery, based in Glasgow. The Lipton branding appears across the front of the pot in black underglazed typography. In a large 4lb size, with an embossed maker's mark on its side, it's an impressive looking item. These crocks tended to be used in shops, where the butter was stored until sold.

Sadly, this crock is missing its original lid (as most do) but otherwise it is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. There is just some light wear to the base and some build up of residue on some parts of the pot.

Height, 14.8cm; Diameter (at widest part), 18.5cm
