A lovely transfer printed toothpaste lid by Maw’s of London. The Lid reads as follows: Maw’s Indian Betel Nut or Areca Tooth Paste unequalled for its Salutary Effects on the Teeth & Gums S. Maw, Son & Sons Aldersgate Street London England”
A Victorian ironstone toothpaste pot lid from S. Maw & Son, the London chemists known for producing popular Areca Nut and Carbolic toothpastes in the late 19th century. These lids were transfer‑printed in black and used on small advertising pots sold by chemists between the 1870s and early 1900s. The bold typography and decorative borders are typical of Maw’s designs, which promoted their tooth‑cleaning preparations “for preserving the teeth and gums.” Today, these lids are prized as antique advertising pieces and attractive examples of Victorian chemist ware.
