This page shows the 'Jones' ointment pot originating from Liverpool
William Jones was first listed in 1868 in the Liverpool directory as chemists and druggists. Eight years later, W. Jones & Co is listed and the company flourished with several shops being opened in the Liverpool area.
The pot carries a blue colour transfer and is printed on both sides. Quite a desirable pot.
Further detailed information can be obtained from the Historical Guide to Delftware and Victorian Ointment Pots book produced by Messrs. Houghton & Priestley, page 97.
