Pot lids are the covers or tops of small pottery containers that first appeared in England around 1840 when town and cities were expanding rapidly.
Retailers produced a larger number of household commodities for domestic use or consumption such as bear’s grease, toothpaste, cold cream, salves and ointments or cure-alls, edible pastes and shaving cream were packed in earthenware pots with advertising printed on the lids.
The pot and lid were eventually consigned to the dustbin and then off to the local dump.
Although flavors of toothpaste came in many varieties such as honey suckle, orange, tomato, carbolic acid and even odd concoctions like myrrh and borax, the two most popular types of toothpaste were areca nut and cherry.
Oddly both were made of the same formula, i.e. with areca nut flavoring, but the cherry toothpaste was cherry colored by the addition of carmine.
Nothing was added to give a cherry flavor, the description “cherry” being applied merely due to the color the paste.
