Former Félix Potin jam pot made of enameled white earthenware, decorated in brown with two medallions depicting the company's establishments: on the left, the "Factory and warehouses in Pantin (Seine)" and on the right, the "Steam factory in La Villette Paris". The decoration is topped with the inscription "Confitures Fines" (Fine Jams) and completed with "Félix Potin - Paris". An interesting feature of this specimen: it still retains in the center part of its original paper label "Gelée fine de groseille - C.F. 323" (Fine redcurrant jelly - C.F. 323), an element very rarely preserved on this type of pot and which greatly enhances its documentary and collectible value.

Former Félix Potin "Confitures Fines" pot, particularly interesting thanks to the exceptional presence of its original redcurrant jelly label, a remarkable testament to food packaging and Parisian grocery advertising at the end of the 19th century.
