Item Details

A rare pair of Wedgwood, dark blue jasper dip fumigating pots. These are marked “WEDGWOOD” and they date from c.1860. They are also marked ”PIESSE AND LUBIN RIBBON FUMIGATING”. Piesse and Lubin was a luxury perfumery in London which was established in 1855. These would have held scented oils and a ribbon would go through the hole in the lid down into the oil. The ribbon would absorb the oil, be lit, and would dispense a fragrance into the room. The pots are decorated, in white relief, with female heads, cherubs and torcheres. To the rim is a band of laurel leaves and berries. The reliefs are all very good quality and the jasper dip is a rich shade of blue. There is staining, due to their usage, and there are a few tiny chips to the lid of one.
Dimensions of one: Height 10cm. Width across female heads 10.4cm. Diameter 10cm. The other is marginally taller and narrower.
Price includes postage within the U.K. Shipping to the U.S.A. add £20. Most of Western Europe add £10.
