; his is a listing for a rare Victorian white ironstone English advertising potted meat pot.

Featuring rarely seen advertising for Tebbutt & Co potted meats of Melton Mowbray, this pot dates from the late 1800s.

This is an excellent example of this scarce advertising pot, featuring a clear black transfer print with the Tebbutt & Co logo showing in a ribbon banner and featuring the Melton Mowbray coat of arms in its centre.

The pot would have been used to sell the manufacturer’s potted meats & bloater pastes. Alongside the logo, it advertises the fact that the company has won 18 gold medals for its products.

Considered a throwaway item at the time it was produced, this pot is in mint condition. There are no cracks, chips or crazing and just a few age spots to the inside of the pot. The transfer print is also remarkably clear.

Diameter, 8.5cm; Height, 4cm
