Potter & Moore produced several bottles featuring English cartoon characters, Bonzo, Ooloo (his girlfriend), Little Nipper and Dismal Desmond. This Dismal Desmond contained 1749 Eau De Cologne
According to London's V & A Museum, Dismal Desmond was designed by Richard Elliott in the 1920s. He proved to be immensely popular and was the subject of a Deans Rag book, produced as a plush toy and many other objects such as salt & pepper shakers, children's crockery and even (gasp!) perfume bottles.
He was for a time the mascot of the English Cricket team and was featured in the ladies dressing rooms at Wimbledon.
