Vintage British Desert Advertising Packaging - Lyons Bird’s Brown & Polson

A curated group of original vintage British dessert and custard packaging, featuring well-known brands including Lyons, Bird’s, Brown & Polson, and Jack and Jill. This mixed lot includes a Lyons Custard Powder cylindrical tin, Bird’s Blancmange Powder boxes with original inner packets, Brown & Polson custard and blancmange boxes, and a Jack and Jill gelatin dessert box (empty, unused box).

The set showcases classic mid-20th-century food advertising design, with strong colour, period typography, and evocative dessert imagery. Several items retain their original inner paper sachets, enhancing both display interest and authenticity. These pieces were never intended to survive long-term and are now increasingly sought after by collectors of advertising ephemera, kitchenalia, and British food packaging.

Ideal for interior styling, shop display, museum reference, or film and television prop use. Offered as a single grouped lot as photographed.

Size/Dimensions

Largest item (Brown & Poulson Custard Powder): H: 12.5cm x L: 6..8cm x W: 4.3cm
Smallest box (Jack & Jill Gelatine Desert): H: 7.3 cm x L: 8.7cm x W: 2.8cm

 
Condition

Good to fair vintage condition overall, consistent with age and original use. All items show expected signs of wear including edge rubbing, surface marks, light staining, and age-related discolouration, with some boxes displaying creases and softened corners. The Brown & Polson blancmange box and one inner packet show historic evidence of woodworm to the cardboard; this is long inactive and stable. All contents are strictly for display or reference only and are not suitable for consumption.

 
Era

c. 1930s–1950s (attributed, based on packaging style and branding)
