Former advertising pot in white enameled earthenware for "Confitures Fines" (Fine Jams) Félix Potin in Paris. This variant features an elegant sepia brown printed decoration depicting two views of the company's facilities: the "Factory and Warehouses in Pantin (Seine)" and the "Steam Factory in La Villette Paris". The highly detailed composition, framed with ornaments, is completed by the large "Félix Potin - Paris" signature. A beautiful piece of antique grocery, particularly decorative due to its monochrome graphics and its representations of the establishments of the famous Parisian company.
