Antique Horner’s Devonshire Clotted Cream Cylinder Pot in a pink-rose colored print. Horner’s Dairy was a well-known producer of clotted cream in Devon, England. The business was established in 1846, as noted on the pot. These jars were used to package and market clotted cream, a rich, thick cream made by slowly heating full-cream cow’s milk and allowing it to cool so that the cream rises to the surface. The back side of the pot promotes its uses — for tarts, stewed fruits, coffee, chocolate, and as a nutritious food. It even notes that it was “recommended and prescribed by the Medical Profession”, reflecting marketing approaches used during the Victorian era.
This pot is in fair condition. The front looks very good, but the back has two cracks and a small piece chipped out as pictured. The price on this hard-to-find pot has been adjusted to acknowledge these cracks. Please review the pictures for the best description.
Measurements: 4 3/4” tall x 2 1/4” diameter
This authentic antique advertising pot was sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from friends who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.
Returns are not accepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
