Old Félix Potin advertising pot in white earthenware with black printed decoration, adorned with two views representing the Parisian sales house and the Félix Potin steam factory. The inscription mentions the sales house at 101 & 103 boulevard de Sébastopol and the factory at 83, 85, 87 & 89 rue de l'Ourcq, La Villette. This address corresponds to the numbering adopted after 1883 and allows this model to be placed in the 1880s, after the older variant bearing the numbers 77 & 79 rue de l'Ourcq. The very detailed architectural decoration and the complete mention of the four factory numbers make it an interesting piece of Félix Potin's commercial and advertising history.
