I'm looking for hand lettered British ointment pots in a similar style to the ones in this picture. They are very different from the transfer printed types such as Holloways. Quite a few have turned up in the eastern US over the years. There are dozens of different names known, dating from before 1800 through to about the 1860s. Writing is usually dark blue, sometimes black, occasionally red/brown. They mostly have a thick tin glaze which chips very easily, so chips etc are acceptable.
