This is a rather nice rare crested china type small dumpy shaped pot with a small mouth.
It says on the bottom its made by J.A.R. & S. CARMEN China Stoke on Trent. ...with WINTERBURN SOUTH ELMSALL ....which I would think is the retailer of the pot. I have seen similar crested china pots made by a large company with a local fancy goods shop retailer in my own local town of similar period so I am thinking the same about this Winterburn name.
To the front is a very fine detail colour transfer print picture of PIT YARD. FRICKLEY SOUTH ELMSALL.
The fine bone china pot is 2 inch tall x 1 and 3/4 inch wide with a small 5/8ths inch dia mouth.
I would think these would have been made in a small batch and sold as souvenirs ...maybe they were made in the hundreds but I very much doubt it as I cannot find any on google search.. nothing.. you on the other hand from this area South Elmsall may well have a cabinet full of them.....but I very much doubt it.
Please see another I have listed today with a different picture of the same pit at Frickley South Elmsall.
A rare survivor of Yorkshire's Colliery History for the serious collector or museum alike.
