Ovaltine- a nourishing malted drink

First developed in Switzerland in 1904 and introduced to Britain soon after, Ovaltine became a household name as a nourishing malted drink, especially popular in the mid‑20th century. Its advertising campaigns emphasised health, vitality, and comfort, making it a staple for families and a familiar bedtime ritual.

Promotional items like branded mugs reinforced Ovaltine’s everyday presence, blending utility with advertising while celebrating the ritual of hot drinks. Today, vintage Ovaltine mugs are prized as nostalgic collectibles that capture the heritage of British beverage culture and the colourful world of advertising pottery.
