This page shows the 'Mrs Hulse' pot originating from Cheshire
Mrs Hulse is not listed in the local directories for Cheshire however it is believed the grocery shop in the village of Alsager sold the ointment pots as this is where Margaret Annie Hulse lived with her family.
The pot is printed in three sections around the body. Four price levels are listed on the pot but only one size of pot is known.
