This page shows the 'Imperial Ointment' pot, unknown origin
Not a true ointment pot as such as it is a base....but interesting all the same as it is ointment pot related. A great deal of writing all around the pot which dates to around 1870.
Further detailed information can be obtained from the Historical Guide to Delftware and Victorian Ointment Pots book produced by Messrs. Houghton & Priestley, page 92. |
