Antique White Rose tooth paste square pot lid & base LEFT POT
A square antique White Rose Paste pot lid and base. Made of white ironstone pottery, the lid is beautifully decorated with a black underglaze transfer that utilises a variety of stylised typography, along with fancy scrolling borders and pinstripe detailing. Produced by S. Maw, Son & Sons of Aldersgate, London, the stylised advertising bills the tooth paste as an “Elegant preparation for preserving and whitening the teeth, purifying and perfuming the breath”.
Complete with the original MAW base which is matching in wear, crazing and has a slightly buttery stained colour.
The price is for one pot lid & base, this listing is for the LEFT pot in the pictures with the two together, and is the slightly more stained example.

6.7cm x 6.7cm
4.3cm tall lidded
Condition:
The lid has a scrape on one corner of the underside, however this can’t really be seen when lidded or on display. Otherwise, there is a tiny knick in the top left facing corner above WHITE.
The base is original to the pot and has a small chip on the edge of the foot, along with a couple small rough spots around the shoulder.
