Rare Picon Confitures d'Oranges Advertising Pot - Large Version

This is a listing for a very rare French confiture pot for Picon Confitures d’Oranges, dating from the early 20th Century. It was available in two sizes and this is the larger example.

This French ironstone advertising pot is a scarce survivor and is in excellent condition, with some beautiful timeworn buttery colouring. 

It is a lovely example, with natural timeworn staining and colouring which makes the beautiful orange decoration around the pot really stand out. 

The pot does have a tight hairline on the top rim but this is tight and stable. The other main signs of age are light crazing and coffee coloured staining which sweeps around the pot. This natural timeworn charm adds a beautiful patina and finish to the pot.

Bearing a printed mark on its base, this Confiture pot is a very rare and beautiful looking example.
