A Scottish advertising pot made of white glazed earthenware, decorated in black with a printed image of a farm woman carrying a bucket and churn, framed by the words "Pure Fresh Cream." The lower cartouche reads "From the Wigtownshire Creamery – Stranraer," identifying a Scottish dairy operating in the late 19th century. This type of pot was used for packaging and selling fresh cream in British grocery stores and creameries before the widespread adoption of industrial glass containers.
