Antique Ginger Preserving Pot | Large
Antique Ginger Preserving Pot | Large
Dug from the ground at the sites of Victorian bottle dumps, these pots originate from the early 1900s and were originally used for transporting preserved ginger. The method of extraction is incredibly labour intensive, with enthusiasts and collectors often working 10 ft or more below ground level. Our pots have been cleaned and checked.
There will be minimal wear and tear commensurate with age. Some have a glossy glaze others are more matt in appearance. Each pot is unique in its finish and design and slightly irregular in shape.
They were made in the North of England and the potters often took the chance for some individual artistic licence, sometimes adding an oriental looking flare of glaze or brush marks.
