Dearborn Mercolized Wax Jar London Art Deco Vanity Pot

A beautifully styled and highly collectible jar of Dearborn “Pure Mercolized Wax,” dating to the early 20th century and retaining its original label and distinctive frosted glass body with metal lid.

This is a classic vanity or apothecary piece, with strong Art Deco influence in the ribbed glass design and typography. The label remains largely intact and legible, featuring the Dearborn crest and London address, which adds both authenticity and display appeal. The metal lid has a soft, aged patina, and the glass body has a subtle opaline tone that works particularly well in curated interiors.

Originally sold as a skincare preparation, this piece now stands as an evocative example of early cosmetic history. There are some original contents still present within the jar, which enhances its authenticity and display interest. These are included as part of the item’s historic integrity only. Due to historic formulations, this item is sold strictly as a collectible and is not for use.

A desirable addition for collectors of vanity items, apothecary jars, and advertising pieces, as well as for film, theatre, or interior styling
