Rare Antique French Advertising Pot - Roger & Gallet Creme de Savon

This is a listing for a rarely seen antique French white ironstone advertising pot for Roger & Gallet’s Crème de Savon, dating from the early 20th Century, with natural timeworn charm.

This is a lovely example of a French ironstone advertising pot, dating from around 1900. Like all French ironstone pots, it features beautiful and intricate imagery and typography. The brand and product information features on both sides in subtle sage green colouring. A beautiful pattern, with scrolling, borders and foliage links them together. The lid of the pot is no less detailed, with the monogrammed initials for Roger & Gallet taking centre stage.

Originally, this pot was used for shaving cream but these are now delightful items to have displayed around the home. 

Considering the age of this piece, it is in good overall condition with clear transfers still. Most notably, there is light crazing and patches of staining all over the pot although the transfer is all still visible. This also adds natural timeworn age to the piece. There are also some chips to the rim of the pot lid and a small chip to the top of the pot too. But there are no cracks and this is still a lovely display piece.
