Their anchovy paste became an iconic Victorian staple enjoyed on toast and biscuits. This container dates c1908 to 1936. The crest on the lid features the detailed transfer-printed British Royal Coat of Arms along with the phrase "By Appointment", noting the company's status as official purveyors to the British monarchy. There are a few small chips on the rims of the lid and base. This pot was recovered from a Victorian dig site.
