A Victorian toothpaste pot lid from Maw’s, the well‑known London chemists who produced a range of popular tooth‑cleaning preparations in the late 19th century. These ironstone lids were decorated with bold black transfer printing, promoting Maw’s various toothpaste formulas and sold through pharmacies across Britain. The crisp lettering and decorative borders are typical of period chemist ware, making these lids appealing pieces of antique advertising and a classic example of Victorian packaging design.
