This is a rare, authentic piece of domestic history: an original vintage laundry bluing block (Zahra) featuring the iconic "Bull’s Head" brand. Produced by Reckitt & Colman in Alexandria, Egypt, this item was a staple in households for decades. The intense ultramarine blue pigment was used during the rinse cycle to neutralize the yellowing of white fabrics.

The packaging is made of paper with beautiful Arabic and English lithography, showing the "Bull’s Head" logo. This specific block shows its age with an open wrapper, revealing the vibrant, deep blue powder compressed inside. It is a fantastic collector’s piece for those interested in vintage Egyptian advertising, industrial history, or antique laundry memorabilia.
